Download a file from SharePoint.

rclone copy --ignore-times --ignore-size --verbose sharepoint:SourceFolder/file.txt DestFolder

Struggled with the same issue myself, and had my not-so-automatic-but-man-so-convenient way, with a daily log-in.

1. logged into Sharepoint with a browser,
2. exported the cookie,

3. run the following command.

   wget --cookies=on --load-cookies cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --no-check-certificate -m https://yoursharepoint.com 

And files were downloaded just fine.

Firefox plugin that captures the link with session ID etc.. and it provides a command you could paste in the console for curl or wget.

If anyone has a better suggestion please let me know.

It gives you a curl or wget command with headers, cookies and all, with a copy to clipboard button, right on the download dialogue.
