You can download individual files, multiple files, or entire folders from the File Storage panel.

## Download Files

2. **Right-click**: Right-click on any of the selected files
3. **Click "Download"**: Choose "Download" from the context menu

Each selected file will be downloaded individually to your computer.

<Note>
  Very large folders may take too long to zip on the server and the download could fail. If this happens, you can either download files inside the folder individually, or contact our data migration team for assistance with large exports — [book a call](https://cal.com/lawrence-nika/export-20-gb-files-from-nika.eco) or email [support@nikaplanet.com](mailto:support@nikaplanet.com).
