End users can select any combination of files and folders and download them with a single action as a ZIP archive, preserving the original folder structure upon extraction. This feature is available in all AWS regions where the Transfer Family web app is offered and works with Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, but is not currently supported on Safari.
