Get and Save Files from Google Drive — gdrive_files_to

This function programmatically downloads CSV files stored in your Google Drive, saves them temporarily as CSV files, and then converts and saves them as RDS objects. The function is designed to work with singular data frames that have one record each. If working with larger data frames, you can break them into singular records and use `purrr::map` to process them.

Usage

gdrive_files_to_rds(data_to_fetch, save_location, save_format = ".rds")

Arguments

data_to_fetch: A data frame containing information about the files to fetch from Google Drive. Each row should represent a file and include columns 'id' (file ID on Google Drive) and 'name' (file name).
save_location: The directory path where the downloaded files should be saved.
save_format: The format in which to save the files. Default is ".rds".

Value

None (invisibly returns NULL)

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Provide the data frame with file information
files_to_fetch <- data.frame(
  id = c("file_id_1", "file_id_2"),
  name = c("file1.csv", "file2.csv")
)

# Specify the save location
save_location <- "path/to/save"

# Get and save files from Google Drive
gdrive_get_files(files_to_fetch, save_location)
} # }
