Downloading Files using Google Drive API

See: Google Cloud SDK (gcloud CLI)

• Create project in https://console.cloud.google.com
• Enable Google Drive API in console
  • https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/enable-drive-api

Using gcloud cli:

 gcloud auth login --enable-gDRIVE-access

gcloud doesn’t provide command to access google drive.

–order <sortOrder>

OrderBy sets the optional parameter “orderBy”: A comma-separated list of sort keys. Valid keys are ‘createdTime’, ‘folder’, ‘modifiedByMeTime’, ‘modifiedTime’, ‘name’, ‘name_natural’, ‘quotaBytesUsed’, ‘recency’, ‘sharedWithMeTime’, ‘starred’, and ‘viewedByMeTime’. Each key sorts ascending by default, but may be reversed with the ‘desc’ modifier. Example usage: ?orderBy=folder,modifiedTime desc,name. Please note that there is a current limitation for users with approximately one million files in which the requested sort order is ignored.
