ee_drive_to_local {rgee}

Move results from Google Drive to a local directory

Description

Move results of an EE task saved in Google Drive to a local directory.

Usage

ee_drive_to_local(
  task,
  dsn,
  overwrite = TRUE,
  consider = TRUE,
  public = FALSE,
  metadata = FALSE,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

task

A generated list obtained after completing an Earth Engine task. See details.

dsn

Character. Output filename. If missing, a temporary file will be assigned.

overwrite

A boolean argument that indicates whether filename should be overwritten. By default TRUE.

consider

Interactive. See details.

public

Logical. If TRUE, a public link to the Google Drive resource is created.

metadata

Logical. If TRUE, the metadata related to the Google Drive resource will be exported. See details.

quiet

Logical. Suppress info message.

Details

The task argument requires a status of "COMPLETED" because the parameters required to identify EE items in Google Drive are retrieved from
ee$batch$Export$*$toDrive(...)$start()$status().

Due to the fact that Google Drive allows users to create files with the same name, the consider argument is required. It use an interactive R session by default to assist users in identifying the specific files they wish to download. Additionally, "last" and "all" settings are provided. "last" will only download the most recently saved file in Google Drive, whereas "all" will download all files with the same name.

Finally, if the argument metadata is TRUE, a list containing the following elements is exported and appended to the output filename (dsn):

• ee_id: Name of the Earth Engine task.

• drive_name: Name of the Table in Google Drive.

• drive_id: Id of the Table in Google Drive.

• drive_download_link: Download link to the table.

Value

If metadata is FALSE, will return the filename of the Google Drive resource on their system. Otherwise, a list with two elements (dns and metadata) is returned.
