Is there (yet) any way to download entire folders from icloud.com as a zip file?

What if my files don't update to iCloud? 

Check these things first:

• Make sure that you have enough iCloud storage. If you need more space in iCloud, you can buy more iCloud storage or free up space by deleting content.
• Sign in to iCloud on all of your devices and turn on iCloud Drive.
• Make sure that you have an active Internet connection on your Mac and on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
• Install the latest versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. See which versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote you can use with iCloud Drive.
• Create a new document and save it to see if it uploads to iCloud. If it does, see if the other documents start uploading.

If you tried these steps and your files still don’t upload to iCloud, stay signed in to iCloud and save your updated files to a different folder on your Mac or PC

Note : Zipping files is not a solution , make sure whatever iCloud storage data you have choosen , the data must be in limits ,if it exceeds reduce it using optimise feature or delete unwanted files , or purchase a new iCloud storage as per situations .

You can't zip a folder in www.icloud.com in another computer that has totally different system files , as apple engineers have designed and we all are Mac users , perhaps a feedback can be send see this link https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

Hello!

You cannot directly compress a folder from www.icloud.com perhaps tap the folder and click on download button , it will be moved in finder > download folder .

Then right click on the folder and click on compress .When you use get info definitely the folder size will be reduced , and in the contextual menu click on share some options will be shown share with mail , messages , air drop ....etc with another computer .

This seems to just be a fundamental flaw in icloud.com. You should be able to download an entire folder. The whole point of icloud.com is to be able to access your files from a device/computer other than your main Mac. Why even allow individual file downloads? Why even have icloud.com at all? Being able to download an entire folder at once (including nested subfolders) should be a no-brainer.

And not yelling at volunteers in this community who do not make policy seems also a no-brainer.

Why even have icloud.com at all?

Why ask unanswerable questions? Nobody here could possibly speak to your question.

Feedback for Apple goes here >>> http://apple.com/feedback

I have used Dropbox, although I don’t see how that relates to your question about iCloud.

you got your answer.

No.

yiu can’t zip files and download that zip file from iCloud. You knew you got an answer because you then ranted about the answer.

if iCloud is lacking certain features you feel should be in place, I suggest you use the feedback link I provided to tell Apple how you feel.

nobody here can help you.
