Silly question (RE: Option 2 "Use the DownloadZipAsync method to download the entire folder...").  To where does DownloadZipAsync(...) download the zip file??

 

The DownloadFileAsync() method accepts an argument containing the download target folder, but I see no such option in for the argument to DownloadZipAsync(...).

Hi erich_e,

In both cases (downloading a regular file of any kind or a folder as a zip) there is stream that may be use as you would like. Of course you may redirect/copy this stream to another file stream that refers to file named as you like. Is there something that prevent you do so?

Good luck.
