I am invited to view a google drive folder (not sure if this is the appropriate terminology), which contains a bunch of files and folders sorted hierarchically. I can see the content, and can download the files one-by-one, but I am not given permission to download everything at once, so as to view at leisure. Since this link will likely expire soon, is there a way to save time and crawl (and download) its content, without having to do it on a file-by-file case?
I have tried some extensions (apparently chrome web store requires login nowadays?), some projects on github (requiring installation of go), and rclone. rclone (debian/ubuntu) seems the most promising solution, but I couldn’t find a way to do what I want (which is to just download everything in the same hierarchical order). I should add that I do not OWN the particular google drive folder, so I cannot upload files to it - just view/download.
I should add that because I do not use a gmail account, I have to visit the link provided, receive a text code from Google on my e-mail, and then use that code to get authorization to view the drive contents. This is in contrast to others who HAVE a google account, and just log in with their google account. This probably matters to rclone, and is maybe the reason I couldn’t make it work.
