Download from Google Drive/Docs using Internet Download Manager(IDM)

Google Drive or Google Docs does not allow you to download using IDM, instead, your browser's download manager will be used.I found a solution for this.

Things we need:
Internet Download Manager (IDM)
Google Account
Google Chrome


First, you go first to your file or Google Drive and download something.
Then something like this will appear,if it's large file, if not, it will just be downloaded directly.


Just click "Download Anyway" and Google Chrome will download this automatically and will let you choose where to save the file.





Then pause the Download. (Ctrl+J then, pause or cancel)









Then Right click on the link(the blue one)then "Download with IDM".

It will now be downloaded using IDM.

[SOLVED] Google Drive/Docs "Sorry, you can't view or download this file at this time." or "Unable to play this video at this time. The number of allowed playbacks..."


Downloading Files on Google Drive or Google Docs and this message shows up
"Sorry, you can't view or download this file at this time." or "Unable to play this video at this time. The number of allowed playbacks has been exceeded. Please try again later."

We now got a solution to that.

To do this we need:
* Google Account

First you must be signed in to your Google account,


When you download something from a link to a Google Docs/Drive;

This is what we usually see:



and if we try to download, it will redirect us to a page like this:


So, the first thing we do is 
Go back to the link(the first picture) and click the word "File"
and Click "Move to Folder"



After that, something will pop up, and click "My drive" and it will be checked, then click "Move"


After you moved it, go to your Google drive account or click the Google drive symbol on top left corner. And it will redirect you to your Google drive account.




Then right click on the file and click "Make a Copy"


It will be copied to your Google Drive


Then right click on the copy and click "Download"


Now, you will be able to download it.
