How can I transfer a photo album to my desktop?

I want to transfer one album of approx 400 photos to my Mac's desktop. Can't figure out any way of doing this. Can't drag and drop. Can't copy and paste. The only options I'm given are to delete ...

Thank you Lamis K. That has worked for me to the point where I had the zip filed photos in my downloads folder, but I still saw no way to drag them in to my photos application. So I opened my Photos app, (I use a Mac) went to File, selected Import from the drag-down menu, selected Dropbox from the drop-down, and selected the file I wished to import from that list. Presto! it appeared in Photos as "last Import" and could be managed within that app accordingly.
