About:
Goodls is a command-line interface (CLI) utility that enables users to download shared files and folders directly from Google Drive without requiring authentication. It simplifies the process of retrieving public or shared content by accepting a simple URL as input. This tool is particularly useful for developers and system administrators looking to automate file retrieval from Drive links in scripts.
Key Features:
  • No authentication required for shared files
  • Supports both single files and entire folders
  • Simple CLI usage with straightforward commands
  • Lightweight and fast execution
Use Cases:
  • Automating downloads of shared resources in CI/CD pipelines
  • Quickly fetching public datasets or documents shared via Drive links
  • Scripting bulk downloads from shared folders
Alternatives:
  • gdown – Popular for Kaggle datasets but primarily focused on file IDs and specific URL formats.
  • wget/curl – General-purpose downloaders that require handling Google Drive's confirmation tokens and redirects manually.
