About Google Drive Downloader
Large Google Drive folders often fail during zip-and-download, leaving you with corrupted archives or missing files. Google Drive Downloader solves this by pulling each file separately in its original format. No more waiting for a single zip that might never finish.
The extension mirrors your Drive hierarchy on your local disk, keeping every subfolder in place. A real-time progress panel shows per-file status, speed, and any errors, so you always know what's happening. Batch selection lets you pick only the files you need.
Resumable downloads ensure that network interruptions don't force you to start over. The download picks up from the last byte, saving time and bandwidth. Whether you're backing up shared folders or archiving your own Drive, this tool delivers complete, organized files every time.

Select files or download everything

03
Files download individually without zipping
Each file transfers directly in its original format. The progress panel tracks every item with speed, size, and status updates.

Short, practical feedback from people using Google Drive Downloader in real workflows.
Finally, reliable Drive downloads
I manage a design agency and clients share project files via Drive constantly. Google's zip download failed on a 12GB folder three times before I found this. the files I tried came through cleanly with the folder structure intact.

Resume feature is a big help
The resume feature is huge for me. My home internet drops occasionally, and being able to continue a 500-file download from where it left off instead of restarting saved me hours.

Good for research data archiving
I archive public dataset repositories from Google Drive for research. The batch selection lets me grab just the CSV files from a messy folder without downloading irrelevant files. Clean and efficient.
