I found a blog article that shows how to download Google Drive files using the Linux terminal. It includes a step-by-step guide and a video. Check it out here.

Why can't my model open this URL: https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download? It might be due to network issues. Please check the link's validity and try again later.
