AWS Transfer Family now lets web app users download multiple files and folders at once. End users can select any combination of files and folders and download them together in a single action. The download is delivered as a zip archive that preserves the original folder structure when unzipped.
You can get started by selecting files and folders in a location and choosing Download from the action menu. Previously, end users could download only one file at a time, and folders could not be downloaded at all. The web app shows the files to be downloaded and real-time progress with a success or failed status for each one.
Multiple-file download is available in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge. It is not currently supported in Safari, where end users can still download files one at a time. This capability is available in all AWS Regions where Transfer Family Web Apps is offered.
