I occasionally need to get files from my Dropbox account when I'm using a computer not under my control. I can download or access individual files on the dropbox website, but is there a convienent way to download entire folders, preferably in some sort of archive?

This is pretty easy. Simply check the check box next to the folder(s) you want to download and then go to More Actions > Download Folder You can also do this to download multiple files within a folder. Check all the items you want to download and then go to More Actions > Download Items |

The above mentioned solutions do not work anymore. Instead, open the folder you want to download and click to select individual files, or press Ctrl+A to select all files. A row of buttons will appear above the list of files, click the Download button to download the selected files as a Zip compressed archive. EDIT: Matthew Crumley's solution works as well, just be sure not to click the folder name itself, as it will open the folder instead of selecting it. The Download button will appear in the row of buttons above the folder list, and not in a drop-down menu as mentioned. |

If you only want to download a single folder, you can just click to the right of the folder you want to download (in the blue highlight box around the folder), and choose "Download Folder" from the drop-down list. |
