How can I download a complete folder hierarchy using python Google drive api. Is it that I have query each files in the folder and then download that. But doing this way, folder hierarchy will be lost. Any way to make it in proper way. Thanks

    You need to request the files with in each folder individually. There is no way to get a full list in one request. – Linda Lawton - DaImTo May 26 '14 at 12:29
  • Thanks DalmTo for the supersonic reply. So that means I got to maintain the heirarchy in my end. Got it ! – phenomenon.aurora May 26 '14 at 14:49

You can achieve this using Google GAM. 

gam all users show filelist >filelist.csv
gam all users show filetree >filetree.csv

I got all the answers from this site. I found it very useful. https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki

Default max results of query is 100. Must use pageToken/nextPageToken to repeat it. see Python Google Drive API - list the entire drive file tree
