In the Box web app, I can download an entire file as a zip. I don't see an equivalent method in the Box Content API. Is there a way to download an entire folder as a zip? Or is this on the roadmap?

  As an alternative, what if you could make multiple download requests at once - reducing the number of calls made, but getting individual files?

   

  Is it critical that you get a single file in return?

  Yes.  If its multiple file, we want to zip them and send as a one file.

  Thanks. I work on the File System Team here at Box, and we'll consider this for a future endpoint.

  Hi Aaron - is this currently an option?  I have a requirement to download everything within a user's files within box, and will need to repeat this indefinitely for multiple users.  Hoping there is already a solution, and am slightly frustrated at the 15Gb limit via the web interface.  Downloading individual files through an API would solve all my problems 🙂

  I'd like to download a set of files or a folder zipped using the Content API. The zip can be 0 level (no compression), just the end user wants one zipped file instead of many.
