I have recently saved a lot of music and pictures onto my google drive and now I would like to save them from there straight onto my SD Card (in my S4). I know if I press on the file for a few seconds it gives me the option to save it but like I said I have a lot on there (roughly 4000 pictures and songs) so to do it all individually will take a lot of time I don't really have...
So my question - is there a way to download everything in a folder at once or is there a 'select all' option in google drive?
I couldn’t download videos that I had saved in Google Drive. So what I did was, instead of just selecting one video to download, I selected 2 videos at the same time. It doesn’t have to be a video, it can be a picture, audio, zip file, anything. The trick is you need to have 2 items selected at the same time. Download files from Google Drive using a computer or an Android device. Go to drive.google.com. Click a file to download. (To download multiple files, press Shift or Ctrl while clicking other files.) Right-click and click Download. Note: Dragging a file from Google Drive to your desktop won’t download it. Frequently asked questions. How to Download Photos from Google Drive to PC?

You can alternatively use the browser and go to [drive.google.com/] and run the site in desktop mode. There, you can use the bar that's just under the search bar. Once you have navigated to the desired folder, go back to the bar I mentioned before, and tap your folder's name in the bar. After doing so, you will find a dropdown menu that will have options in it. There should be an option that says 'Download', with a down arrow to the left of it. Tap that, and you're off to downloading the folder you had uploaded.
Hope this helps, cheers!

Okay I have found a third party app that lets me copy everything from Google drive in one easy step - Astro File Manager - it's a free app on play store, works brilliantly for this as you can select everything in the drive and simply copy it over to your SD Card.
This app will also work with dropbox and other cloud services.

Google drive for android currently doesn't provide this option !
you could use file manager like 'ES file explorer' for android

There is no need for a third party app. You can explore your Google drive storage like you can your internal storage from your phone's settings app. There you can then copy even folders to your internal storage

I found this quick work around:
- Install a small app called 'Send to SD card'.
- In Drive select the file you want to download and click on 'send...' > 'Send to SD Card'.
- Now select a folder and copy the file.
