# Method name: downloadFolder(folderId: string)

# Method package: wixMediaBackend

# Method menu location: wixMediaBackend --> MediaManager --> downloadFolder

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-media-backend/media-manager/download-folder.md

# Method Description:

Returns a download URL for downloading a folder from the Media Manager.

The `downloadFolder()` function returns a Promise that resolves to a download URL 
 for a Media Manager folder's files and sub-folders.

 A compressed file is created and can be downloaded using the download URL. The 
 compressed file can contain up to 1000 files. Sub-folders are included. The name 
 of the top-level folder requested for download isn't included.

 Call the [`wix-location.to()`](wix-location-frontend/to) function with 
 the returned download URL as the external web address. This opens the Download bar in your browser. 

 This function provides a permanent URL for downloading a folder.
 To get a temporary download URL for a single file, use the [`getDownloadUrl()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-media-backend/media-manager/get-download-url.md) function.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Get a download URL for a folder's contents

```javascript
import { Permissions, webMethod } from 'wix-web-module';
import { mediaManager } from 'wix-media-backend';

/* Sample folderId value:
 * '0abec0_bed6f8efb53348379b2011514254e954'
 */

export const myDownloadFolderFunction = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, (folderId) => {
  return mediaManager.downloadFolder(folderId)
    .then((downloadUrl) => {
      return downloadUrl;
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
    });
});

/* Promise resolves to a download URL similar to:
 * 'https://archive.wixmp.com/archive/wix/2d8d9ffc016c443387e42abf8e459c66'
 */
```
