This is the second time I've come across free out-of-print books on HN, that were hosted on google drive, preventing me from downloading them. The previous were computer books by Usborne.

Why do people do this? Please use a sharing site or make a torrent if on a budget, find a friend who knows how.

What exactly do you mean by "sharing site" and why is that more accessible to you than GDrive?

A site that allows you to download files, there are many.

Gdrive is the only one I've encountered that has prevented that, twice now.

Following the advice of another commenter, I'll upload the files to archive.org
