# Download ZIP Files

## Downloading a Single File

[Section titled “Downloading a Single File”](#downloading-a-single-file)

By selecting a single file in the file system and clicking the **Download** button, the file will be immediately downloaded to the user’s device.

## Downloading a Folder

[Section titled “Downloading a Folder”](#downloading-a-folder)

By selecting a folder and clicking **Download**, the system will start creating a ZIP archive containing all files within that folder.

## Monitoring Download Progress

[Section titled “Monitoring Download Progress”](#monitoring-download-progress)

The creation of the ZIP archive may take some time, depending on the size and number of files in the folder.

You can monitor the progress of this process by accessing the **Tasks** section, located in the user menu at the bottom-right corner of the interface.

## Completion Notification and ZIP Download

[Section titled “Completion Notification and ZIP Download”](#completion-notification-and-zip-download)

Once the ZIP archive has been generated, the user will receive an email containing a download link.

The link will remain active for 48 hours from the time of generation. After that, the file will no longer be available for download.
