Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
GET /drive/v3/files/{id}/export?mimeType=application/pdf (Google-native files only)
For binary files use files.get?alt=media instead
Export size limit 10MB — for bigger docs use the exportLinks from files.get
Stream the response to disk
Known gotchas
export only works on Google-native formats; calling it on an uploaded .docx returns 403 fileNotExportable — use alt=media
10MB export cap is hard; large spreadsheets need per-sheet CSV export via the Sheets API or exportLinks
Rate limits hit fast on bulk exports; add backoff
