Aliyundrive Plugin Setup Guide

The Aliyundrive plugin parses share links from alipan.com / aliyundrive.com. Browsing shares needs no configuration; downloading requires the web refresh_token — the long-lived login credential of the Aliyundrive web app, which the plugin exchanges for an access token to fetch download URLs. It must be the web (alipan.com) refresh_token; app or open-platform tokens will not work. It is stored locally only and never uploaded anywhere.

How to get it

  1. Open www.alipan.com in your browser (Chrome / Edge recommended) and sign in.
  2. Press F12 to open DevTools and switch to the Application tab ("Storage" in Firefox).
  3. Expand Local Storage on the left and select https://www.alipan.com.
  4. Click the entry named token — its value is a JSON blob.
  5. Find the refresh_token field inside the JSON and copy its value (the content inside the quotes, without the quotes).
  6. Back in GDownload: Plugin Market → Aliyundrive → Settings, paste the value into the "Aliyundrive refresh_token (web)" field and click Save.

FAQ

"check refresh_token" / device session failed

The token was copied incorrectly (extra quotes or other JSON parts) or has expired; fetch it again.

Browsing works but downloads fail

No refresh_token configured — browsing needs no login, downloading does.

It stops working after a while

Signing out on the web or changing your password invalidates the refresh_token; just fetch it again.

Security notes

This credential is equivalent to your login credentials — never share it with anyone or paste it into untrusted sites or tools.

GDownload stores and uses this value locally only; click Clear in the plugin settings to remove it at any time.
