    <description>&lt;P&gt;That's correct, the /2/files/download_zip endpoint was just designed as a way to enable apps to download entire folders at once, as opposed to individual files; it doesn't apply compression to optimize the amount of data that needs to be transferred overall.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There isn't an option for requesting actual compression, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>/download_zip compression</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/download-zip-compression/m-p/708047#M3535</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;If I'm not mistaken &lt;FONT face="andale mono,times"&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download_zip" target="_self"&gt;/download_zip&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; endpoint creates a zip using method "store" (meaning 0% compression). So it doesn't make sense to use this API for optimising fetching size, since the resulting zip's size is the same as the one of the remote folder. I understand, that there might be use cases for that, probably, but I was wondering whether I'm missing some configuration param, that allows specifying a compression method. If not, perhaps it can be a feature request?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
