Describe the Bug

Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently. Please
try accessing the file again later. If the file you are trying to
access is particularly large or is shared with many people, it may
take up to 24 hours to be able to view or download the file. If you
still can't access a file after 24 hours, contact your domain
administrator.

I encountered the same issue. my solution is to save the shared files into my own drive. then, share this file to get the link, and download using gdown. I guess this limit is cuz the link is widely used by others, and to bypass it you need to generate another link.

why not use google drive API then?

[AshutoshPatel02]

@zhanshicu We can only save shortcut of shared drive to MyDrive, so does this work?

[zhanshicu]

no, don't save shortcut. you can copy and paste the file to your drive

I also recommend this solution for a popular file that is downloaded by many people.

[AshutoshPatel02]

Yes actually this way it will work for single file.
But I am working with a shared drive of bigger size more than size of my drive storage and I need to download that shared drive as a whole, in that case this tool might not work :(

no, don't save shortcut. you can copy and paste the file to your drive

What if the file is way larger than my own driver space? Let's say I got 100 GB drive and the file is 200 GB?

Got the same message from my own Disk, after some tries to add/remove to my Disk, Google blocked to copy files on my OWN Disk
