is here any way i can download the whole folder without it zipping? or give the option to choose like on mega.nz? straight from browser.
No.
But can you expand on your use case?
well when i share the folder i want the ppl i give it to be able to download all the files in the given folder be it only one by one as long as they don’t have to click on each file to download them. zipping takes to long and some of the ppl i will be giving the link are not tech ppl and don’t know how to unzip/manage folders. on mega.nz u can just select the folder and just choose download standard and it will automatically download all the files in the folder one by one. they have a downloading integrated into the website and i was wondering if nextcloud has something like that
