Sync folder with Google Drive. Recursively downloads with wget and Google Drive public links. Used to sync ebooks to my eReaders (Kobo). Be warned that public links are dangerous as they could allow someone to download your files. Be sure to use this only in secure environments. This has been tested to be used in POSIX shells as well as in bash.

I tried to run this script but I'm getting the below error.

find: warning: you have specified the -depth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-depth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify options before other arguments.

This error I could fix moving -depth 1 to before -type. Now, I'm got a error find: paths must precede expression: '1'.
