downloading folders from google drive.

I wanted to download some course material on RL shared by the author via Google drive using the command line.  I got a bunch of stuff using wget a folder in google drive was a challenge.

Ultimately I'd like to to use it in an agile manner as an LMS with a minimal UI.  This would require creating a story for each query and a test that the query returns a good answer. Also to make things interesting the tasks should be related and proceed from easy to more challenging and cover a number of techniques like filtering, aggregation and subqueries. However, initially I want to have things up and running quickly and to collect questions and answers that reflect how to do create views
