gd_download_folder: Download files from Google Drive folder

In scholaempirica/reschola: The Schola Empirica Package

Download files from Google Drive folder

Description

Downloads all downloadable files from given Google Drive folder and saves them to specified local directory. Files will have the same names. Use googledrive::drive_download() for downloading individual files.

Usage

gd_download_folder(
  folder_url = gd_get_proj(),
  dest_dir = "data/input",
  files_from_subfolders = FALSE,
  overwrite = TRUE
)

Arguments

folder_url	Folder URL.
dest_dir	Local URL in which to store files.
files_from_subfolders	Whether to download also files from subdirectories. Defaults to TRUE. See Note.
overwrite	Whether to overwrite if file of same name exists.

Value

vector of paths to downloaded files

Note

As it would be very difficult to mirror the folder exactly, if files_from_subfolders is set to TRUE, files from subfolders will be saved in the same directory, not in the respective subdirectories. Bear this in mind when naming files in GDrive subfolders so as to avoid naming conflicts.
