await client.download_folder('<folder_id>', dest='path/to/output')

folder_id = await client.create_folder('new-folder-name', parent_id='<folder_id>')
await client.upload_folder(folder_id, src='path/to/folder')

File Upload/Download/List

import io
await client.upload_file(io.BytesIO(b'Hello, world!'), folder_id='<folder_id>', name='hello-world.txt')
await client.upload_file(open('image.jpg'), folder_id='<folder_id>', name='image.jpg')

files = await client.list_files('<folder_id>')
data: bytes = await client.download_file(files[0])

Credentials

1. Read pydrive docs
2. Copy client_secrets.json to the working directory
3. Run gdrive-auth (installed with the package), which will open a browser window, and save the credentials to credentials.json
