AutoIt

Download File (Stream to Local Filesystem)

See more Google Drive Examples

This example demonstrates how to download the content of a file from Google Drive. The file is streamed to the local filesystem. AutoIt

; To download a file, we must know the file ID.
; In a previous example (see Build Local Metadata Cache
; we built a local cache to make it easy to lookup file IDs given a file path.

; First we lookup the fileId in the cache.  With the fileId, we can download the file.
