Bypass Google Drive Download Limit
To bypass Google Drive download limit, follow the steps below.
1. Open the Google Drive Link with Download Limit
Open the Google Drive link that you want to download. If you see a message saying the download quota is exceeded, proceed to the next step.
2. Make a Copy of the Restricted File
Sign in to your Google account if you haven’t already. Click on the file to select it. Right-click on the file and choose “Make a copy.” This will create a duplicate of the file in your own Google Drive. For instance, if the file name is “example.pdf,” you will see “Copy of example.pdf” in your Drive.
3. Find the Copied File in Your Drive
Go to your Google Drive homepage. Use the search bar at the top to search for “Copy of example.pdf” or scroll through your files to find it. The copied file should have “Copy of” prefixed to its original name.
4. Move the Copied File to a New Folder
Create a new folder in your Google Drive to organize the copied file. Click on the “New” button located in the upper left corner of the Google Drive interface.
From the dropdown menu, select the “Folder” option. A dialog box will appear asking you to name the folder.
Choose a descriptive name, such as “Bypassed Files,” and click “Create.”
Now, locate the copied file in your Google Drive. To move it to the new folder, you can either drag and drop the file into the folder or use the right-click method. Right-click on the copied file, select “Move” from the “Organize” menu, and navigate to the newly created folder.
Click on the folder name and then click “Move” to complete the process.
5. Download the Copied File from the New Folder
Open the new folder you created. Right-click on the copied file (e.g., “Copy of example.pdf”) and select “Download.” The file will then be downloaded to your computer.
6. Check Your Computer for the Downloaded File
Navigate to your computer’s “Downloads” folder or the location where your browser saves downloaded files. Verify that the file (e.g., “Copy of example.pdf”) has been successfully downloaded. If it is there, you have successfully bypassed the Google Drive download limit.
