gdocs-export

A python script to export all your Google documents, sheets and presentations and download them in open document formats.
Very useful when you are migrating from GoogleDrive to a different cloud platform.

Because of a restriction in the Google API this works only for files smaller than 10 MB.

Prerequisites

Getting Started

Installation

  • git clone https://github.com/PhilInTheGaps/gdocs-export
  • cd gdocs-export
  • pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib

Create Google Project

  • Visit the Google developer console
  • Create a new project and add the GoogleDrive API
  • Create an oauth consent screen and add https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly as a scope
    (As the project is for personal use only, you don't have to verify it. Ignore the warning.)
  • Create credentials and select OAuth Client ID
    • Application type is other
    • Give the credentials some name, it does not matter
    • Select your new credentials and click Download JSON
    • Save the file in the gdocs-export folder and rename it to client_secrets.json

Run the script

  • python3 export.py
  • The script will now find all documents, sheets and presentations in your drive and download them.
