gdown is an open-source command-line tool used to download files directly from Google Drive. It simplifies downloading large or restricted files by handling Drive's permission prompts and confirmation warnings, making it ideal for automation, scripting, and reproducible data workflows in data science and development environments.

Features of gdown:

• Download Google Drive files using a shareable link or file ID.
• Bypasses Google Drive's warning and confirmation pages automatically.
• Supports file renaming and resuming interrupted downloads.
• Lightweight, Python-based, and easy to integrate into scripts or notebooks.
