Good day everyone,

I've looked everywhere and couldn't find the answer, hopefully someone can help out.

Is there anyways to download the drive files while maintaining the file path.

Whether using GAM or GAMADV, both only seem to download all the files but without a path

With GAMADV i'm able to show filetree, but i can't seem to find a way to download while maintaining the folder structure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Rod

Rodi,

Neither GAM or GAMADV-XTD3 have any mechanism for downloading a folder structure; they can only download individual files.
Both can, however, specify a full path for the downloaded file.

gam <UserTypeEntity> get drivefile (id <DriveFileID>)|(drivefilename <DriveFileName>)|(query <QueryDriveFile>)

        [revision <Number>] [(format <FileFormatList>)|(csvsheet <String>)]

        [targetfolder <FilePath>] [targetname -|<FileName>] [overwrite] [showprogress]


If you're trying to download a file structure, see: https://rclone.org/

Thank you very much for that, I was afraid of that answer but was hoping I might've missed something.

Will look into rclone.

Thank you,
