Introduction#
Have you ever found yourself repeatedly searching for commands to download files from Google Drive or send messages to Slack? I created Pybox to solve this problem - a Python-based command-line toolbox that consolidates useful utilities for common development tasks.
This project continues to evolve as I discover new commands worth sharing. Current features include:
- Downloading files from Google Drive (both individual files and entire folders)
- Sending messages to Slack channels
- Asynchronous file downloads
- And more utilities being added regularly
Note: Downloading files from Google Drive folders requires authentication through the Google API.

$ pybox gfile <url> <name> <size>
2. Download files in a folder by client id and folder id.#
$ pybox gfolder <client_id> <folder_id>

A simple and easy to send message to Slack Channel#
$ pybox slack [options] <webhook-url>

Download multiple files asynchronously#
1. Download single file.#
$ pybox asyncdown -u <url> -o <output>
2. Download multiple files.#
$ pybox asyncdown -f <url-file>
For example, suppose urls.txt in which the first column is the file name and the second column is the download url.
pybox asyncdown -f urls.txt will download all files in parallel.
