Google-drive – Split one .rar file on Drive into several files before downloading

This would not be the best answer to my question, because it requires more than a batch file operation.

Having been aware of the (cumbersome) Google gdata API, it would probably somehow be possible to achieve this goal, using that API.

I've just discovered the (new) Google gdrive API, and it looks much more logical than the gdata API, not requiring to learn weird "feeds" malarky that pervaded the gdata API. It is possible to achieve the goal using the gdrive API and Python (or other languages, but I prefer Python).

This is not doable because of the browser's restrictions since you can't download multiple files in one request and that's why Google (and many other services) is packing multiple files in one zip. I'm not sure if there is any plug-in (I doubt since it's very specific), but what you can do is to install the Google Drive on your computer and all of your files will be always synced, so there is no need to download.
