Bulk Download of files


 

Is there a facility to download multiple files within the FILES section?

What I am looking for is a similar capability to the Checkbox/ACTIONS support provided on the ADMIN > MEMBERS page. This allows actions to be taken against multiple Members.

I was hoping there would be a similar Checkbox against a list of FILES, to enable multiple files to be downloaded, (or deleted?) at a time. This would be _very_ handy for backup purposes.

Have I missed something? Or has such a requirement already been suggested? (I have searched but not come up with anything.) Seems odd that we can upload multiple files at a time, but only download one at a time

Thanks for any advice.

Brian.


 

Brian,

None that I'm aware of. Something to suggest in the beta group perhaps.

Mark has said that his plan is to allow group mods to download the complete set of content from their group. But as yet only the Members list and the Messages have a download ability. Come to think of it, the calendar too, via it's .ics URL.

But that's somewhat different than your question - those downloads are available only to mods/owners. And are complete content, not selected content.

Thx, Shal. I just wanted to check I hadn't missed something before I go through the process on the Beta group.

The FILES section is especially important to the Groups I look after. It would be especially useful to the Moderators to be able to download more than a single file at a time. (For example, we might be having a discussion which involves the review of several documents at a time.)

Brian,

(For example, we might be having a discussion which involves the
review of several documents at a time.)
In Groups.io, for some purposes, the Wiki might be a better choice than the Files section. For example that might be true if the files are formatted text (like a message) and the result of review would be a round of revisions. A wiki page can be edited on site, and includes change tracking.

That's what we're here for (one of the things, anyway). ;-)
