Suggestion: change cp -r to cp -a so that metadata such as the modification date is preserved

Clarifying the path used to run the cp command from, defined in the shortcut creation step

Looks like the shortcut is no longer necessary, directly referencing the source folder in the !cp worked fine for me.

| Jun 26, 2021 at 16:41 | comment | added | Victor Valente | @AlexJohnson This still works (I'm doing it right now), and the fact that in 2021 this is the only plausible solution for copying a shared folder is just preposterous. | |

Does this still work? When I pass pwd in Step 6, working directory is listed as /gdrive/Shareddrives/example-folder/example-sub-folder

!cp -r 'above-copy-path/.' '/gdrive/My Drive/destinantion-path' looks like a spare whitespace in 'My Drive', should be 'MyDrive' anyway, AWESOME trick

Quick tip: rsync is also available, though --no-p --no-g --chmod=700 is suggested (rsync may otherwise create folders it can't write to)

Shared folder path is not accessible according to the original answer. Guess google changed something.

from the very beginning of copying I get a lot of cp: cannot open '/gdrive/.shortcut-targets-by-id/0B7r...Smc/Name-of-shared-folder/subfolder/subfile.gsheet' for reading: Operation not supported with gsheets and gdocs, that seems to defy any usability.
