download_from_google

download_from_google(file_id: str, file_name: str, target: str = ".") -> None

• Description: Download files from Google Drive and handle confirmation issues for large files.

• Parameters

  • file_id (str): The ID of the file to be downloaded from Google Drive.
  • file_name (str): The name to save the file as after downloading.
  • target (str, optional): The target directory to save the file. The default is the current directory ".".

• Exceptions

  • Exception: An exception is raised if the download fails or the file cannot be created.

• Notes

  • This function handles both small and large files. For large files, it automatically handles Google's confirmation checks, bypassing warnings about virus scans or file size limits.
  • Ensure the target directory exists; if not, it will be created automatically.

  # Example 1: Download a file to the current directory
  download_from_google(
      file_id="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
      file_name="example_file.txt"
  )

      file_id="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
