gdrive: Download to a given local path by its ID.
$ gdrive download --path ${path-to-folder} ${id}

The given command is a command line instruction to download a file or folder from Google Drive using the tool called "gdrive".

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • gdrive download: This is the main command provided by the "gdrive" tool to initiate the download process.

  • --path ${path-to-folder}: This option specifies the destination path where the file or folder will be downloaded. You need to replace ${path-to-folder} with the actual local path on your system where you want to save the downloaded file or folder.

  • ${id}: This is the ID of the file or folder you want to download from your Google Drive. The ID uniquely identifies each item in Google Drive.

So, putting it all together, the command gdrive download --path ${path-to-folder} ${id} is asking "gdrive" to download the file or folder with the given ${id}, and save it to the specified ${path-to-folder} directory on the local system.
