You are better than Google (Drive) at explaining things.

[Interartmusic]

This seems easy enough. Thanks for adding your voice to this instruction. I wasted so much time looking at other videos with just music and a mouse pointer.

[aloysiusdonnypramadhono]

Hey, this seems working only for the content in the My Drive folder. How do you download the files in the shared folder?

[anitamartinez]

Thank you, I was going around in circles the other way. Get so frustrated lol and you explain it way better than google it self. Thank you

[artofflight]

One of the most useful straight to the point videos I've seen thank you!

Brilliant explanation without any non-sense-roundabout ways like those stated by money-makers !
Thank you so much for giving us the great idea from the Google account itself !

Thank you so much for your to-the-point and super useful video! It worked perfectly! I was so upset and disheartened because I had so many files on Google Drive and Ctrl+A or Shift etc wouldn't work at all! You saved my life! Google can be so convoluted sometimes... Stay blessed!

[brittanyt]

I hate Google and I was frustrated with not being able to download all my info at once. Thank you for the relief!

[kbeauchesne]

Extremely well done video! Straight to the point and you have an awesome video presence. I don't think I would have ever found this on my own. Thank you!

[cgsouqdmodels]

many thanks, one question, is there any way to sync google drive to my computer?

[Bigduff]

I was sent a link with a lot of photos that I have to download. I selected all photos, then download. it seemed to zip the files, but when it is done, it kinda just disappears. I have no idea where the zipped file went to. any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

[scarlettherrell]

You are an absolute legend. You helped me loads. Cheers mate !!

[HaycravingHorse]

Thank you so much man. Worked like a charm!

[janecoppola]

it appears that you must create an archive to download photos. to archive, google compresses the photos. I don't want the photos compressed. is there a way do do this without the compression?

[mariamoshin]

Thank you so much.
If my files are less than 15gb, how long will they take to copy?

Hi, my internal drive is full so I couldn’t download a large archive; is there an option to select destination for archive to put it on an external drive? Realizing I can select downloads destination in browser, but still wondering if can select from within Google account?

[corinnepetit]

hello, I want to download a shared file with me and save it in my desktop. I was not able to open the zip with the 62 files in it. I would love your help. Thanks Corinne no success yet here.

Hi, I have followed what you have told in the video, I have 180 GB data which I need to download to laptop from cloud. In between if laptop is off, or we lost internet then will it resume once laptop is on, or we need to do something.
