PyDrive How to Download a Folder using ID

Question

I am trying to download a file or folder from My Google drive using PyDrive

After multiple attempts using the Documents: https://gsuitedevs.github.io/PyDrive/docs/build/html/filemanagement.html#download-file-conte

I still cannot seem to get my head around downloading the folder.

I have managed to list the Title and ID of my items, i just need a way to download them.

Upon listing the folders and files both with ID and title Is there any way of downloading the folder based on the ID.

Thanks

Answer 1

As you have managed to get the Titles and IDs of your files. You can download them like this:

file = drive.CreateFile({'id': "ID_OF_YOUR_FILE"})
file.GetContentFile('FILE_NAME_AS_YOU_WANT_TO_SAVE.EXTENSION')

I hope that helps!
