Answer 1

I recommend you use Pydrive to download your file from google drive. I download 500MB dataset for 5s. 1. install Pydrive

!pip install PyDrive

2. OAouth

from pydrive.auth import GoogleAuth
from pydrive.drive import GoogleDrive

gauth = GoogleAuth()
gauth.LocalWebserverAuth()

drive = GoogleDrive(gauth)

3. code for download file from google drive

fileId = drive.CreateFile({'id': 'DRIVE_FILE_ID'}) #DRIVE_FILE_ID is file id example: 1iytA1n2z4go3uVCwE_vIKouTKyIDjEq
print fileId['title']  # UMNIST.zip
fileId.GetContentFile('UMNIST.zip')  # Save Drive file as a local file
