I wonder what could have gone worng with the policy in your case. I just tried to recreate it my lab and I was able to successfully block the google drive site. Let me check with the above-mentioned case and have it followed up internally.
To fix this error, inform the user (sharer) they were unable to share becausethe notification email couldn't be sent to the destination email address. Theuser should make sure they have the correct email address and that it canreceive email.
To fix this error, check the sharingsettings of the Google Workspace domain to which the file belongs. The settings mightprohibit sharing outside of the domain or sharing a shared drive might not bepermitted.
This error occurs when the access token that you're using is either expired orinvalid. This error can also be caused by missing authorization for therequested scopes. The following JSON sample is a representation of this error:
An activeItemCreationLimitExceeded error occurs when the limit for the numberof items created per account has been exceeded. Each user can have up to 500million items created by an account. For more information, see User-itemlimit.
This error occurs when a user tries to modify the inherited permissions of anitem within a shared drive. Inherited permissions can't be removed from an itemin a shared drive. The following JSON sample is a representation of this error:
To fix this error, a user must adjust the permissions on the direct or indirectparent item from which they were inherited. For more information, seePermissionpropagation. You canalso retrieve thepermissions.permissionDetailsresource to see whether the permissions on this shared drive item are inheritedor applied directly.
This error occurs when a domain administrator hasn't allowed users withrole=writer to move items into a shared drive. The user attempting to move theitems has fewer permissions than allowed on the destination shared drive. Thefollowing JSON sample is a representation of this error:
To fix this error, instruct the user to contact the file's owner and requestedit access. You can also check user access levels in the metadata retrieved bythe files.get method and display aread-only UI when permissions are missing.
A myDriveHierarchyDepthLimitExceeded error occurs when the limit for thenumber of nested folder levels has been exceeded. A user's MyDrive can't contain more than 100 levels of nested folders. Formore information, see Folder-depthlimit.
This error occurs when the limit for a folder's number of children (folders,files, and shortcuts) has been exceeded. There's a 500,000 item limit forfolders, files, and shortcuts directly in a folder. Items nested in subfoldersdon't count against this 500,000 item limit. For more information onDrive folder limits, refer to Folder limits inGoogle Drive.
This error occurs when a user attempts to exceed the strict item limit on ashared drive. Each folder in a user's shared drive has a limit of 500,000 items,including files, folders, and shortcuts. This limit is based on item count, notstorage use. For more information, see Shared drive limits inGoogle Drive.
A teamDriveHierarchyTooDeep error occurs when the limit for the number ofshared drive nested folder levels has been exceeded. A user's shared drive can'tcontain more than 100 levels of nested folders. For more information, seeFolder-depth limit.
To fix this error, use Drive shortcuts to add multiple links to afile. Although a shortcut can only have one parent, a shortcut file can becopied to the additional locations. For more information, see Create ashortcut to a Drive file.
This error occurs when the per-user limit has been reached. This might be alimit from the Google Cloud console or a limit from the Drivebackend. The following JSON sample is a representation of this error:
These errors occur when an unexpected server error arises while processing therequest. Various issues can cause these errors, including a request's timingoverlapping with another request or a request for an unsupported action, such asattempting to update permissions for a single page in Google Sites instead ofthe entire site.

I've looked online extensively and I finally managed to get one of them to download. I got the UIDs of the files and the smaller one (1.6MB) downloads fine, however the larger file (3.7GB) always redirects to a page which asks me whether I want to proceed with the download without a virus scan. Could someone help me get past that screen?
I notice on the third-to-last line in the link, there a &confirm=JwkK which is a random 4 character string but suggests there's a way to add a confirmation to my URL. One of the links I visited suggested &confirm=no_antivirus but that's not working.
The file_id should look something like 0Bz8a_Dbh9QhbNU3SGlFaDg. You can find this ID by right-clicking on the file of interest, and selecting Get link. As of November 2021, this link will be of the form:
When downloading large files from Google Drive, a single GET request is not sufficient. A second one is needed, and this one has an extra URL parameter called confirm, whose value should equal the value of a certain cookie.
As of March 2022, you can use the open source cross-platform command line tool gdrive. In contrast to other solutions, it can also download folders without limitations, and can also work with non-public files.
There had been issues before with this tool not being verified by Google and it being unmaintained. Both issues are resolved since a commit from 2021-05-28. This also means, the previously needed workaround with a Google service account is no longer needed. (In rare cases you may still run into problems; if so, try the ntechp-fork.)
At first usage, the tool will need to obtain access permissions to the Google Drive API. For that, it will show you a link which you have to visit in a browser, and then you will get a verification code to copy&paste back to the tool. The download then starts automatically. There is no progress indicator, but you can observe the progress in a file manager or second terminal.
How does it work?
Get cookie file and html code with curl.
Pipe html to grep and sed and search for file name.
Get confirm code from cookie file with awk.
Finally download file with cookie enabled, confirm code and filename.
If the file is shared publicly, you can generate a direct download link by just knowing the file ID. The URL must be in the form " =[FILEID]&export=download". This does not require the receiver to log in to google but does require the file to be shared publicly.
Open a new tab, select the address bar, and paste in the contents of your clipboard which will be the shareable link. You'll see the file displayed by Google's viewer. The ID is the number right before the "View" component of the URL:
That's your direct download link. If you click on it in your browser the file will now be "pushed" to your browser, opening the download dialog, allowing you to save or open the file. You can also use this link in your download scripts.
I was unable to get Nanoix's perl script to work, or other curl examples I had seen, so I started looking into the api myself in python. This worked fine for small files, but large files choked past available ram so I found some other nice chunking code that uses the api's ability to partial download. Gist here:
Here's a little bash script I wrote that does the job today. It works on large files and can resume partially fetched files too. It takes two arguments, the first is the file_id and the second is the name of the output file. The main improvements over previous answers here are that it works on large files and only needs commonly available tools: bash, curl, tr, grep, du, cut and mv.
(Skip this step if the file is already in your own google drive) Make a copy of the file you want to download from a Public/Shared Folder into your Google Drive account. Select File -> Right Click -> Make a copy
Install and setup Rclone, an open-source command line tool, to sync files between your local storage and Google Drive. Here's a quick tutorial to install and setup rclone for Google Drive.

Correct, PS category blocks everything, that's what I have blocked only drive.google.com, but its not working at all. MX log says content filtering applied and blocked, but actually the sites loading.
We only started this month to encourage our staff members and students to use google drive and google docs. We are facing a wierd issue. On guest role, the users are not able to browse to drive.google.com however they can browse to any other website without any issues. When I set the role to be authenticated then clients have no issues in accessing drive.google.com or docs.google.com but as I change it back to guest then it just sits there. It looks like there is something in firewall on controller which is blocking access. Site is happy when all trffic is allowed through controller firewall.
Google Drive and Google Sites are designed to work on uninhibited networks. But for domain and network administrators with specific firewalls or servers, the following must be accessible for Google Drive and Sites to function properly:
