How to Bulk Download Files in the Data Room
To bulk download files from the Data Room, follow these steps:
- Select the desired room and navigate to the Data Room tab at the top of the screen.
- Click on the Home folder icon in the left menu to display all the folders and files in the room.
- Click the Download All button at the top.
- A pop-up window will appear with additional download options:
- Add file indexes to titles: Adds numbering to file names (e.g., 01_filename, 02_filename) for easier sorting.
- Shorten long titles: Automatically truncates long file names to avoid Windows path errors.
- Include parent folders: Keeps the folder structure from the data room in your download.
- Notify me by email when files are ready to download: Sends an email alert once your download is prepared.
- Your download will be compressed into a .zip file. Save it to your hard drive and extract its contents to access all the downloaded files.
Further information on Extracting .Zip files in Windows:
