How to pull data from GCS without pipelines

I just did a dvc add folder which created the folder.dvc and then dvc push . So I can do a dvc pull and everything from the folder is getting downloaded, but I want to select some subfolders.

Ah, it seems like an issue in dvc 2.0 pull: can't do partial checkouts · Issue #5577 · iterative/dvc · GitHub which is now resolved. When the new bugfix release comes (a couple days), you are going to be able to pull partial paths. Thanks for reporting!
