Grab All Your Google Docs With A Python Script

1:00AM Kevin Purdy | Google Docs Download, a Greasemonkey script previously featured here for creating a Google Docs bulk download feature that should already be there, is now available as a (beta-level) Python script. That means Mac OS X and most Linux users can download and run it off the bat, and Windows users can grab all their cloud documents using Cygwin. Thanks, Jason!

It’s just another true sign of how life-changing the command line can really be. Thanks, HowToGeek! dominos.py More »
