Using GDrive to download entire folder

Question

is there a way to use GDrive to download an entire folder from Google Drive? I am unable to find a way, and I need to download the folder from the command line.

Solution

Detailed steps to install and use gdrive can be found in this web page or this one. Specifically, to download a folder the first step is to get it's ID using this command :

gdrive list --query "mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder'"

Then, just download your folder with this command :

gdrive download --recursive '<folderID>'

This method no longer works. Google won't let you sign in with it.

I have tried and it works on my end @MayurKulkarni

It works. But currently it is not like an rsync, so for really big folders the download may timeout.
