Hello,

 

Does anyone know of a way to use the HTTP Caller or another Reader/Transformer to download the entire contents of a Google Drive folder? There is a Drive folder (not owned by me) that hosts folders of shapefile data (link below). Does anyone know how to possibly download these folders in zip format so I can then process them as shapefiles in FME? I can download the whole folder directly in Google Drive, but I'd like to have this done automatically so I can schedule this workflow to run once a month. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello @smithgk​ 

 

First I suggest you to use the transformer Creator to start the process.

 

After you can use the transformer GoogleDriveConnector to do download the files:
