Set up Python API for GEE and continue following It is available as a Python package that can be installed locally or within the cloud and accessed from a command-line interpreter or within a Jupyter notebook. The Google Earth Engine (GEE) Python API facilitates interacting with Earth Engine servers using the Python programming language. But we can take advantage of the google python API to export the images, image collections directly to your local computer without uploading to your drive. Satellite images are large in size so your free drive storage will fill up in no time and then you are a force to buy the storage which is not cheap if you are living in developing countries. The exports can only be sent to your Google Drive account, to Google Cloud Storage or to a new Earth Engine asset. Google Earth Engine lets you export images, map tiles, tables and videos from Earth Engine.
