Accessible Google Drive Client?

Okay, so recently, a creator on Kickstarter shared some PDFs via
Google drive, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to
initiate the downloads in Firefox, and more recently, someone
suggested Google Drive as a means of sharing some files that are too
big for sending as e-mail attachments, but I have my doubts that'll be
any more accessible through a web interface.

I decided to do a Google search for stand alone, command line clients,
and managed to install rclone from apt and drive-cli from pip, but
have had no luck in figuring out either.

Ideally, I'd like a command line utility that could just read the
google drive link to a folder from a file and download everything in
said folder or a browser extension that cuts through the JavaScript
and other rich-web malarkey to present me plain download links...

A command utility to copy a local folder to Google Drive that then
saves the share link to a text file or some other console screen
reader friendly means of sharing a large amount of data would be nice
too.

Anyone have any suggestions?
