I'm trying to download hidden whatsapp data from Google Drive.

Thanks to Tomers useful instructions here (Thanks!) I can see the data but I'm quite flummoxed how to download it. My main problem is I can't identify a direct link and I can't get my head around the coding to request one.

Many Thanks!

Each file inside the hidden Google Drive directory has an ID, which you can see via $file->getId(). (In my example you have linked, the ID is shown in parentheses next to each file name) Then, downloading the file should be as simple as

$fileId = '1kTFG5TmgIGTPJuVynWfhkXxLPgz32QnPJCe5jxL8dTn0';
$content = $service->files->get($fileId, array('alt' => 'media' ));
file_put_contents("result_file.crypt9",$content);

Also take a look at the documentation.
