Objective-C Google Drive: Download a File (Stream to the Filesystem)

Back to Index

Downloads the content of a file by ID. (In this example the file id = 1R_70heIyzIAu1_u0prXbYcaIiJRVkgBl) The file is streamed directly to the filesystem. Note: The alt=media query param must be used to download the file content (as opposed to the file metadata).
