There are a few ways to go about this, but the easiest is to use WebDav for the path and then basic file commands such as Get-ChildItem, will just work. The general format is: \\yoursite.sharepoint.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\ServerRelativePath

Thanks for providing this idea, I was able to download a folder in only few lines!

$webDavUrl = "\\yoursite.sharepoint.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\ServerRelativePath"
Get-ChildItem -Path $webDavUrl -Recurse | % {
   $dest = Join-Path -Path "\\domain\folder" -ChildPath (Split-Path $_.FullName -NoQualifier).Replace($webDavUrl, '');
   Copy-Item $_.FullName -Destination $dest -Force
}
