Hey kanabigb, welcome to our community! 

When viewing your files online, you can click on the ellipsis icon (…) to the right, and select Download. 
 
You can also place a checkmark in the box to the right of the file, and select as many as you want. Then click on the Download button at the top right of the screen. 

I hope this helps! 
Cheers
