WhatsApp Google Drive Extractor

Allows WhatsApp users on Android to extract their backed-up WhatsApp data from Google Drive.

Prerequisites

1. Docker
2. Android device with WhatsApp installed and the Google Drive backup feature enabled.
3. The device's Android ID (if you want to reduce the risk of being logged out of Google). Run adb shell settings get secure android_id or search Google Play for "device ID" apps.
4. Google account login credentials (username and password). If using 2-factor authentication, create and use an App password: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/daferferso/whatsapp-gdrive-extractor.git

2. Add your Gmail, password, and Android ID to the settings.json file before running the container.

3. Build the Docker image:

   cd whatsapp-gdrive-extractor/
   docker build . -t whatsapp-gdrive-extractor

4. Run the Docker container:

   Linux:

   cd whatsapp-gdrive-extractor/
   docker run -v $(pwd):/app -it whatsapp-gdrive-extractor

   Windows:

   cd .\whatsapp-gdrive-extractor\
   docker run -v .:/app -it whatsapp-gdrive-extractor

If downloading is interrupted, the files that were received successfully won't be re-downloaded when running the tool one more time. After downloading, you may verify the integrity of the downloaded files using md5sum --check md5sum.txt on Linux or md5summer on Windows.
