PyDrive How to Download a Folder using ID

Question

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

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

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!
