gdrive: Download file or directory by ID to current directory.
$ gdrive download ${id}
try on your machine

The command "gdrive download ${id}" is likely a command line command used to download a file from Google Drive on a system where the "gdrive" command-line tool is installed.

Here's an explanation of the components in the command:

  • "gdrive": It refers to the name of a command-line tool or utility called "gdrive" that is used to interact with Google Drive through the command line. This tool is not an official Google product but is a popular third-party tool that provides command-line access to Google Drive functionality.

  • "download": It is a command within the "gdrive" tool to indicate that the desired action is to download a file.

  • "${id}": It represents a variable or placeholder that should be replaced with the actual ID of the file you want to download from Google Drive. The ID could be the unique identifier assigned to a specific file in your Google Drive.

So, to use this command, you would replace "${id}" with the actual file ID you want to download, and the "gdrive" tool will initiate the download of that file from Google Drive to your system.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
