Unable to download multiple files to Mac desktop

Please would you kindly confirm the steps to download multiple files to Mac desktop?

I can only download one file at a time even though all files have been selected.

Thank you.

    Mark​ Thank you that's helpful.  

    On further thoughts, as there are alot of files, I thought that instead of downloading, I should sync the folder to Finder instead.  I followed the online the instructions stating goto: Dropbox website> Click avatar>Click Preferences>Click the Sync tab.  The problem is that I see Preferences  but there is no Sync tab.  Please would you clarify?

    Have you installed Dropbox on to your machine first? 

    http://www.dropbox.com/downloading will do that for you. That will then sync all of the Dropbox you see online in to a \Dropbox directory on your machine.
