<StorageBucketName> ::= <String>
<StorageObjectName> ::= <String>
<StorageBucketObjectName> ::=
        https://storage.cloud.google.com/<StorageBucketName>/<StorageObjectName>|
        https://storage.googleapis.com/<StorageBucketName>/<StorageObjectName>|
        gs://<StorageBucketName>/<StorageObjectName>|
        <StorageBucketName>/<StorageObjectName>

gam download storagefile <StorageBucketObjectName>
        [targetfolder <FilePath>] [overwrite [<Boolean>]] [nogcspath [<Boolean>]]

By default, the takeout files will be downloaded to the directory specified by drive_dir in gam.cfg.

• targetfolder <FilePath> - The takeout files will be downloaded to <FilePath>

By default, when getting a document, an existing local file will not be overwritten; a numeric prefix is added to the filename.

• overwrite | overwrite true - Overwite an existing file

By default, when getting a document, its Google Cloud Storage path is preserved.

• nogcspath false - Preserve the Google Cloud Storage path
• nogcspath | nogcspath true - Do not preserve the Google Cloud Storage path

This example downloads a Google Cloud Storage file preserving its path

$ gam download storagefile gs://gam-bucket/SubFolder/SimpleText.txt
Getting File SubFolder/SimpleText.txt
Cloud Storage File: SubFolder/SimpleText.txt, Downloaded to: /Users/admin/Documents/GamWork/SubFolder/SimpleText.txt

This example downloads a Google Cloud Storage file removing its path

$ gam download storagefile gs://gam-bucket/SubFolder/SimpleText.txt nogcspath
Getting File SubFolder/SimpleText.txt
Cloud Storage File: SubFolder/SimpleText.txt, Downloaded to: /Users/admin/Documents/GamWork/SimpleText.txt
