FAQ
Everything you need to know about downloading Google Drive view-only files.
How do I download a Google Drive view-only video?
Export your Google Drive cookies using the Cookie-Editor browser extension, paste them into DriveLoad along with the Drive file link, and click Download. DriveLoad handles the rest using multi-threaded chunked downloading for maximum speed.
What file types does DriveLoad support?
DriveLoad supports view-only videos (MP4, MKV, etc.), PDFs, and Word documents (DOCX) shared on Google Drive. More file types are supported based on what Google Drive allows to stream.
Is DriveLoad free to use?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 lifetime downloads with no credit card required. The Pro plan ($9.99/month) gives you unlimited downloads and priority support.
Are my Google cookies safe?
Your cookies are stored encrypted per your account and are only used to authenticate download requests to Google Drive on your behalf. They are never shared or sold to any third party.
Why can't I just right-click and save a Google Drive view-only video?
Google Drive intentionally disables the download button on view-only files. DriveLoad uses your authenticated session cookies to directly access and download the file segments, which is the same data your browser streams when you watch the video.
