      Folder activities in Moodle are likely to contain more than one file by design.

      If a student wants to download multiple files from a folder, he has to download them one by one. This is time-consuming and can be quite annoying.

      We would like to see a bulk download button within the folder activity which serves all of the folder's files as ZIP file (similiar to the bulk download function for teachers in the assignment activity).

      Optionally, it would be fine if the student could choose which files to download so that scenarios where multiple, but not all, files have to be downloaded are also supported.

      PS: I searched for existing tickets about this (for us quite trivial) requirement, but did not find any. If this ticket duplicates any existing ticket, please point me to the original ticket.
