I was trying to make an update system using google drive, basically it would identify a file in google drive (ex: version.txt), and read the version of the file (ex: 1.0), in case the version was changed (ex: 1.1), it would download another file from my Google drive (ex: square.cs) and replace the original using the "file.replace" from "System.IO", but I couldn't do it. Could someone help me with the part where I download and check the file on google drive? I've problem with download file from google drive and verify. Only that.

What I have tried:

I dont have the code here, cuz I've deleted.

While we are more than willing to help those that are stuck, that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.

Similar question has been asked years ago, but the answer seems to be still current.
See: How to download a file from Google Drive in c#[^]

I'd strongly suggest to read Google API documentation: Download files | Drive API | Google Developers[^]
