To download data into an IO stream from a special URL of the form url = "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1GqmszfSB_LHGQEQpSjoiPyDROZ5a8Ls4", use the following code:

using Downloads: download
io = IOBuffer()
download(url, io)
str = String(take!(io)) # (this line for text data only)

To download data from a typical Google Drive URL of the form url = "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GqmszfSB_LHGQEQpSjoiPyDROZ5a8Ls4", use the following code that converts the URL internally for convenience:

using GoogleDrive: google_download
io = IOBuffer()
google_download(url, io)
str = String(take!(io)) # (this line for text data only)
