R - Loading data from Google drive

Recently, my colleague contacted me to assist another colleague who was having trouble loading data stored on a Google drive account into R. I have never thought about using Google drive as a place to store data and then load it into the R environment. Normally, I store and load data from GitHub, but there are some limitations, particularly when the dataset is very large. Google drive might be an easy workaround to this limitation, so I decided to figure out how to make this work.

I posted this tutorial on my RPubs site.
