    Make a zip out of the output of the export...

  • So can I make a zip of all the files into one file that can be downloaded?

  • Yes, that's the idea of a zip file, with the added bonus than the resulting file will be slightly smaller than the total size of the files.

  • So do I have download a program that can make a zip file?

  • Answer ✓

    Most operating systems come with zip / extraction functionality. In Windows, right-click on a folder and select Send To > Compressed (zipped) Folder. If you don't like or don't have this functionality in your operating system, then you can use a third-party application such as 7-zip.

    In general, 7-Zip is the first program I install on a fresh version of Windows (then I disable the built-in Zip management...). At least because it allows me to install other programs (I avoid versions with installer when I can).

  • Thanks guys!
