gdown is a Python package (current version 5.2.1) designed to download public files and folders from Google Drive, providing functionality that standard tools like curl or wget often lack for Google Drive links. It handles large files by skipping security notices and supports recursive downloads for folders (up to 50 files per folder). The library has an active development cycle with regular updates addressing features, enhancements, and bug fixes.
