Yes, you can use the Python SDK to download files using the files_download method:

https://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/dropbox.html#dropbox.dropbox.Dropbox.files_download

You need to call that once per file you want.

You can list the files using files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue:

https://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/dropbox.html#dropbox.dropbox.Dropbox.files_list_folder
https://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/dropbox.html#dropbox.dropbox.Dropbox.files_list_folder_continue
