Hi there,

DigitalOcean Spaces doesn’t currently support downloading entire folders or multiple files in one click from the web UI.

If you need to download a folder, the best option is to use a tool like s3cmd, rclone, or the AWS CLI, all of which work with Spaces’ S3-compatible API. You can check out the docs here:

Also, you can suggest multi-file download support here: https://ideas.digitalocean.com/

You can use tools like s3cmd to manage your DigitalOcean space object.
