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?

Windows defender offline for vista. 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.

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
Open Files.
Press on the button to open the side menu.
Select Drive.
Go to the folder you wish to download.
Long press the folder.
Press on the 3 dots button at top right.
Press on Copy to..
Go to where you want to copy it on your phone.
Press on the Copy button at bottom right.

Google drive for android currently doesn't provide this option !
you could use file manager like 'ES file explorer' for android
you can connect to your google drive from it and easily copy folders

I found this quick work around:
Google Drive Not Downloading
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.

One of the best features of Google Drive is the ability to share and modify files with other users. Today, Google’s building up on its permission system, allowing owners of shared files to lock certain functions like downloading, printing, or copying.
Previously, if you shared a view-only file, Google would allow users to make a copy, download it locally, or print it out. While that wouldn’t affect your existing file, you may not want to allow just anyone to make a copy. Now, you can lock it so these options aren’t available. Additionally, if you add other editors to a file, you can now prevent them from adding other people without your knowledge.
