gdown

gdown is a Python downloader designed for public Google Drive files and folders that ordinary curl or wget commands may not retrieve correctly. It handles Drive confirmation pages and extracts file identifiers from several common share-link formats. Users can download individual files, recursively copy folders, choose output paths, or inspect resolved names as JSON. Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides can be exported to formats such as DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, and CSV. Interrupted transfers can resume, while optional controls limit speed, route traffic through a proxy, adjust certificates, or change cookies and user agents. The tool also downloads regular HTTP and HTTPS URLs and can stream data to standard output. It is available as both a command-line program and a Python package.
