Google scan the files before downloading, doesn't it? Which provider are using for that? I'm just curious that Google didn't recognized the file as malware.
Nice share!

We don't know how it work, which engine....

Virus scanning: Google Drive scans a file for viruses before the file is downloaded or shared. If a virus is detected, users can't share the file with others, send the infected file via email, or convert it to a Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide, and they'll receive a warning if they attempt these operations. The owner can download the virus-infected file, but only after acknowledging the risk of doing so.
Only files smaller than 25 MB can be scanned for viruses. For larger files, a warning is displayed saying that the file can't be scanned

For sure Google's Safe Protection mechanism is made by themselves and perhaps rely on possible 3rd party source for faster response on detection.

It's literally important that an active protection with sideline of whitelisting or HIPS should prevent the execution.
