How to download files from DriveHQ.com website?

Log on to your account, and then in the "My Storage" page, you can navigate to any folders, click on it to enter the ShowFolder page. Select the file (i.e. check the checkbox) you want to download, click on "Download" on the toolbar.

Please note web browsers can only download files one by one. So you should select one file only. You also should not check any folders. Folders cannot be downloaded by a web browser.

If you have a paid account, then you can use the "Zip Download" button to zip multiple files and folders into a single zip file and then download the zip file.

Zip Download is a very convenient way for you to download multiple files and folders at once. However, "Zip Download" requires a lot of server resources as the server must zip the files / folders on the fly. Therefore, zip download should only be used to download multiple small files / folders. If you need to download some very large files / folders (e.g. over 100MB), DriveHQ FileManager or DriveHQ FTP is always the best solution.

Do not try downloading files by right-clicking on the filename and selecting "Save As" in your browser. Because of the manner in which your files are securely stored on our servers, you must use the Download button on the tool bar to download your files.

Zip Download feature compresses multiple files and folders into a package with zip archive format. The total size of one zip download can not exceed 100MB. Paid users can zip download any files and folders, including files / folders shared by other paid / free users, but free users just can zip download files / folders shared by paid users.

Moreover, you can make use of DriveHQ FileManager to download multiple files and folders simultaneously without zip compression.


Can Downloads be interrupted and resumed later?

Yes! DriveHQ.com website does support the feature, which allows you to resume your download if it is interrupted. A better solution is to use DriveHQ FileManager Client Software.
