The tool fetches the files. It saves them to a new folder on your desktop. You see a progress bar move across your screen. The process ends when the bar reaches the right side.
You get two choices when you download a project. You can choose to download a ZIP file or a standard folder.
A ZIP file keeps all your project files in one package. This is good for sending files to other people. It takes up less space on your hard drive. Most Windows computers open these files with a double-click.
Choosing the folder option puts the files directly into a new folder. You do not need to extract anything. You can open files and edit them immediately. This saves time for projects you plan to work on today.
This software protects your data. It does not scan your personal files. It does not share your history with anyone. The tool stays local to your machine. It only visits the public web addresses you give it. Your account information remains safe because this tool does not require a login.
