By default, the takeout files will be downloaded to the directory specified by drive_dir in gam.cfg.

targetfolder <FilePath> - The takeout files will be downloaded to <FilePath>

By default, when getting a document, an existing local file will not be overwritten; a numeric prefix is added to the filename.

overwrite false - Do not overwite an existing file; add a numeric prefix and create a new file
overwrite | overwrite true - Overwite an existing file

By default, when getting a document, its Google Cloud Storage path is preserved.

nogcspath false - Preserve the Google Cloud Storage path
nogcspath | nogcspath true - Do not preserve the Google Cloud Storage path
