When I right-click on the file and click to download, it's not letting me save it in the proper format. Viewing users can choose and save a different sort order for themselves, if they want, but you can control the default order.I am unable to download from Google Drive in Google Chrome. There's one other big advantage to OneDrive from a content creator's point of view: you can chose a sort order, including manual sort, and save it to be the folder's default sort order for people viewing it. It's not too bad though, 5 clicks instead of 1. If you're using the web view, you have to create the folders manually, then select all in your folder and upload the contents. The only downside I noticed in switching from Google Drive to OneDrive is, OneDrive's web view doesn't (currently) have a handy "Upload folders" option, like Google's. Or you can select and download individual folders. Here's a screenshot from a shared folder viewed by someone with no account not logged in who simply followed a link:Ĭlicking that "Download" button with nothing selected simply downloads everything, as one zip file. This is how I'm solving the problem - it has exactly the feature I wish Google Drive had. Forget Google Drive and set up a free OneDrive account intsead.If bandwidth or file capacity isn't an issue, and if people will be happy with the choice between one-at-a-time downloads or everything-at-once downloads and nothing in between, this might be an acceptable compromise.
