Download Folders

[MattDESTROYER]

In Repls, there are currently two ways to download parts of the Repl, 1: download individual files, 2: download the entire Repl as a .zip. I am proposing the ability to download folders as well.

This would be very convenient as you don’t always necessarily want to download the entire Repl, maybe just a specific part.

This request was inspired by a misinterpretation of this feature request:

Ability to copy files and entire folders from one Repl to another directly

It would be great to be able to copy files and entire folders directly from one Repl to another, without having to download them and re-upload them to the new Repl. Either by clicking on the 3 dots and having a “Send to other Repl” option, or using the existing “Copy Link” and giving the new Repl the ability to import from the copied link. The 100 Days of Code made me think of this when you have to build upon or modify your previous Repls, without overwriting the originals.

I do belive there have been questions asking how to do this in the past but I cant find them.

This should definitely be a feature. I’m not sure why it’s not, to be honest!

I agree this would be very useful especially when you are building a project and want to extract that build

I always open shell, zip the folder, and download that. Then delete the zip file after. It would be a lot easier if we had a button for it XD
