it didn't work, I'm using an instance on AWS.
I can't log in there, I need to log in on my machine.

I had the same problem on ubuntu 22.
This other approach worked for me:

I just wanted to chime in and say that I installed gdrive via brew yesterday, and wasn't able to use it because of this issue. Other pull requests say that this is because Google is deprecating (has deprecated?) oob.

I was not able to get gdrive to accept my copy+pasted code from the redirect url

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I ran into the same problem, downloaded and tried v2.1.2, and it seems to work now.

[digEmAll]

Thanks 2.1.2 seems to work.

Please note that when you click "allow" it will redirect to a non-working link; that's the workaround, because you need to use the code in the url itself (see the placeholder below):
https://localhost:1/?state=state&code=<THIS_CODE_HERE>&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive

where to get the code?

i got same error like this.... why localhost?

The webpage at http://localhost:1/?state=state&code=4/0AWgavde6eXXXXdZwefCsaJtmJcE8nXXXXX0pvVGjS2rL-SBOXXXXXXBPA&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address

[fachos]

ok sorry.. i understand now.....

4/0AWgavde6eXXXXdZwefCsaJtmJcE8nXXXXX0pvVGjS2rL-SBOXXXXXXBPA

I manage to solve this using gdrive --service-account, you have to create G drive API key from Google API Console

download the key as .json file and store it on ~/.gdrive folder , and download the shared file like this

gdrive --service-account myKeyName.json download '1234gfsdvsvsdfsdf'

You should use File ID not the shared G drive url
