I have done this in the past what you will need to do is create a recursive method. First get a list of all the files on your google drive account. Then sort them by the name if the file has a folder then create that folder. Then Find all the files within that folder and list them. You can preform a download once on the file once you have found the correct directory it should be in.
This is my example using C#.
public static void PrettyPrint(DriveService service, Google.Apis.Drive.v3.Data.FileList list, string indent)
{
foreach (var item in list.Files.OrderBy(a => a.Name))
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}|-{1}", indent, item.Name));
if (item.MimeType == "application/vnd.google-apps.folder")
{
var ChildrenFiles = ListAll(service, new FilesListOptionalParms { Q = string.Format("('{0}' in parents)", item.Id), PageSize = 1000 });
PrettyPrint(service, ChildrenFiles, indent + " ");
}
}
}
