You can upload any type of file to your Google Drive account and, as of this writing, the storage limit is 15GB. After uploading the file, you can set permissions to define who is allowed to also view and download the file. Alternatively, you can create a folder and set permissions on the folder, which defines the permissions for all the files in that folder automatically. The Google Drive link that is provided for the file takes you to a page in Google Drive to view the file and/or download it manually. That’s a useful feature, but sometimes you may want to bypass the built-in viewer and download the file directly.
Direct Download Link for a Google Drive File

Bypassing the Virus Scan Check on Google Drive

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, this is not possible. There are many posts out there showing how it can be done, but after trying all of them, I’ve come to the conclusion, that Google has disabled this possibilty. As a workaround in our Datasets project, we have built in some logic that directs the client to download the file manually for the files that are too big for Google to run the virus scan on.
In the previous article, we have introduced how to get direct link from Google drive, but if the file that you will upload to Google drive exceed 25 Mb, the link we mention previous will can not be used. Take it easy, we have a solution!
