Minimal Usage

from filebrowser_downloader import download

# Download a single file into the current working directory:

# Download a folder (recursively) into path/to/folder
download("https://yourhost/share/def456", password="secret", destination_folder="path/to/folder")

Usage Parameters

• base_url: The public share URL (https://host/share/<share_id>).
• password: Password if the share is protected. If None and required, the user is prompted interactively.
• destination_folder: Where to save files/folders. Defaults to cwd if it's a file, otherwise a folder is downloaded into a new subdirectory named after the share_id
• abort_if_exists: Skip files that already exist and match size. If a file exists but size mismatches, it is re-downloaded. (Default = True)
• verbose: Show progress, warnings, and status messages. (Default = True)
• raise_on_error: If True, raises exceptions instead of failing silently/logging. (Default = False)
• Returns: Path to the downloaded file or folder.
