download file types

[Paul Squittieri]

is it possible to download a specific file type from drive. what I'm trying to do is download all images to location and all docs to another

[Ross Scroggs]

Paul,

In the get drivefile command use the query option to select the file type and the targetfolder option to select the location.

I put in the below and got the following error: Drive File/Folder Download Failed: Query (*.jpg) Invalid

gam user {EMAIL} get drivefile query "*.jpg" targetfolder C:\Test

Paul,

gam user {EMAIL} get drivefile query "mimeType = 'image/jpeg'" targetfolder C:\Test
