It seems like there is a much lower limit for "download all". There is a 100 or so item directory that I want to download, and "download all" tries to wrap them in a zip file and fails. I think it wants to pre-scan all the files for viruses before zipping, but is unwilling to do that many. So I have to download the files one at a time.

- throwaway81523 4y agoHmm, thanks, that looks promising, but it appears to be an all singing all dancing complicated client that does two way transfers to gdrive and expects you to have a google account. I don't have a google account (don't want to enroll one), and am just trying to download a public folder that someone gave me a link to. I'll keep looking to see if I can find a way to use it.
