0 folders found about google-drive-folder-downloader

[delbs27]

I can get it to find the folders now which is good. I cant get it to retrieve any of the files contained within though. does it have anything to do with the url defined within SCOPES variable?

Thank you for using the script!

This script only finds the folder inside the “My Drive” and “Share” tabs in personal google drive, which means that unless you add the public share folder to your “Share” tab, it won’t find the folder. Also, the current script can only accept folder name, not url.

If there is only one folder that match the “folder_name” argument, it will directly download all the content inside the folder. If more than one match, it will let you choose which to download.

Regarding the SCOPES variable, I think drive.readonly is enough.
If the script still has the problem, please let me know, and if possible, please provide the step to reproduce, or some screenshots to let me investigate the issue. Thanks!

@segnolin thanks for explanation, that's not really handy to mark a bunch of publicly available google folders as a Shared to my account. Gonna look for another solution. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

You don't need to add folder_name to your command. You just need python download-2.py test

[segnolin]

Regarding to the unicode issue, I currently have no environment for python2 on ubuntu to test it out. I suggest using python3 because of its greater support for unicode. If you really need to use python2, I will investigate it more in depth.

You need to use python3.6 at least to support f string.

Please check out the latest commit and install the required dependencies (such as google_auth_oauthlib) and try if it works. Thanks!
