Google Drive Folder Downloader — Bulk ZIP Shared Folders
Pricing
from $2.00 / 1,000 file downloaded (up to 10 mb)s
Bulk-download an entire Google Drive folder — every file, all subfolders — as ZIP files in the cloud, with a file manifest. No login or API key needed for public folders. Handles huge folders that make Google's own download button fail.
Paste the share link, e.g. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AbC… — the folder must be shared as 'Anyone with the link' (or provide an OAuth token below for private folders). A bare folder ID also works.
Optional. Uses the official Drive API (better metadata incl. MD5, Shared Drives support). Create one at console.cloud.google.com → enable Drive API → Credentials → API key. Leave empty to use the default no-key mode for public folders.
Only needed for private/restricted folders. Requires https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly scope. Leave empty for public folders.
Recurse into subfolders and download everything inside.
-1 recurses the whole tree. A positive number limits how deep subfolders are followed.
Glob patterns matched against the file name or relative path, e.g. *.pdf or photos/**. Empty = download everything.
Glob patterns to skip, e.g. .tmp or ~$ (Office lock files).
Only download files of the selected type.
Skip files smaller than this. 0 = no minimum. Note: file sizes are only known in API-key mode — in the default no-key mode this filter is skipped (a warning is logged).
Skip files larger than this. 0 = no maximum. Note: file sizes are only known in API-key mode — in the default no-key mode this filter is skipped (a warning is logged).
ISO date, e.g. 2026-01-01. Only files modified after this date are downloaded — handy for scheduled incremental runs. Files whose date is unknown are kept.
Google-native files (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings) cannot be downloaded directly — they get converted: Docs→PDF/DOCX, Sheets→XLSX/CSV, Slides→PPTX/PDF, Drawings→PNG/PDF. Use 'skip' to ignore them.
zip = multi-part ZIPs in the Key-Value store. individual-files = every file stored separately under files/. manifest-only = just list the files without downloading anything.
Output ZIPs are split into parts of this size (0 = a single ZIP). Each part is an independent, openable ZIP file in the Key-Value store.
true keeps the exact folder tree inside the ZIP; false flattens everything into one folder.
store = no compression (fastest — best for photos/videos which are already compressed). fast/best = deflate.
If the folder contains more files than this, the run stops BEFORE downloading anything (and before charging) so you never get surprise costs.
How many files to download at the same time (1–20).
Maximum time allowed per file download.
Retries on network errors, 5xx and rate limits (exponential backoff, honors Retry-After).
Stores sync state in a named Key-Value store; on re-runs only new/modified files are downloaded. Great with scheduled runs.
Named Key-Value store used to remember what was already downloaded in incremental mode.
A JSON summary is POSTed here when the run finishes (success or failure). Works with Make, n8n, Zapier.
Bot token used to send a completion message via Telegram (needs telegramChatId too).
Chat or channel ID that receives the completion message.
