- Streamlined Downloading: Enter the file ID, and the script handles the rest, swiftly fetching the file from Google Drive.
- Check for Existing Files: Prior to download, the script checks for existing files with the same name to prevent accidental overwriting.
- Log Download History: Maintains a log (
download_log.txt
) recording download activities, including timestamps and file IDs.
