The simple answer to your question is: if the person you are sending the link to does not have a Google account, they will not be able to download all the files in the folder at once. This still isn't possible in Google Drive, and, judging by the frosty response from Google when asked about it, it seems to be by design. It honestly looks like if you're sharing with friends, family or colleagues who might not have Google accounts, Google wants the user experience to be bad.
Since the question is from the point of view of the person creating the shared folder, there are two workarounds I'm aware of:.
Clicking that 'Download' button with nothing selected simply downloads everything, as one zip file. Or you can select and download individual folders. If you're using the web view, you have to create the folders manually, then select all in your folder and upload the contents. It's not too bad though, 5 clicks instead of 1. There's one other big advantage to OneDrive from a content creator's point of view: you can chose a sort order, including manual sort, and save it to be the folder's default sort order for people viewing it.
Viewing users can choose and save a different sort order for themselves, if they want, but you can control the default order. You can create a compressed folder of the files and share a link to that compressed folder for them to download. Step 3: Optional Hold shift and click on anything you don't want to include in your e-mail in order to un-highlight it and keep it out of the downloaded file. Now that you have your files highlighted, some new icons should have appeared in the toolbar on the top right side of your Drive.
Not the toolbar with the round picture of you or a generic blue dude on the right-hand side of it. The toolbar directly beneath that one with the little gear on the right-hand side. If you do have a google account the UI is a bit different. There are breadcrumbs at the top showing the path to the folder you're in. After the current folder's name is a caret with a drop-down menu with a Download option.
Clicking on that opens a little pop-over at the bottom showing the progress of zipping the folder into a file. When that is complete, your browser begins downloading the zip file. Then there is a vertical dots button at the top right with a download option that does the same thing.
Use the download feature. So, you've set up your Google Drive and have saved some files there. How do you download those files to your computer or to your phone? First, ask yourself whether you want to transfer certain files from Google Drive to your computer, or whether you would prefer to always keep your computer and Google Drive in sync.
The first option will do for those who only want certain files from their Google Drive, or who only rarely need Google Drive files on their computer. Any files added, removed or edited on Google Drive will be reflected automatically on your computer, so you can keep all your up to date files in both locations at once. Now let's see how to sync files from Google Drive to PC.
Depending on how many files you have chosen to sync, the download may take some time. However, when the download is complete, you will be able to access your Google Drive files on your computer. To do this, open File Explorer on your computer, then click "Google Drive" from the left-hand column. Downloading files from your Google Drive to your iPhone is easy, but first, you'll need the Google Drive app on your iPhone.
If you've not already got the Google Drive app on your iPhone, you can download it from the App Store. So, we've seen how to download files and photos from Google Drive to your computer and to your iPhone. An Apple app is the best way to use a Google service on Apple devices! Remember how it was mentioned above that Google Drive needs to be enabled in the app?
Here is how to do it:. Enable Google Drive and tap Done. Step 4: Tap the symbol at the top and tap Select to select as many files and folders as you want to. Long-press inside the location and tap Paste. Step 1: Launch the Drive app on your Android device and tap the last tab with a folder icon. Step 4: Check for download progress in the Notification Centre.
