    As the title says.

    What is the best easiest way to download an entire folder (retaining the folder structure)? What strategies/services do you guys use?

    Thanks in advance

    As wiebenik says, use the Megasync software. Using it, you can donwload either folders and files (structure retained) or individual folders and files.

    Native apps are always better so, use MEGASync.

    Thank you for the advice. Is MegaSync also limited by Bandwidth (free users)?

    To avoid bandwith limit on free accounts you'll have to restart your internet conenction from time to time if you have dynamic IP.

    Hmm.. I guess I'll just leave one folder to sync with MegaSync for a while. I've used Megadownloader before but this share has over 4000+ files

    Sometimes yes, sometimes I am able to download over 20GB before I hit a limit.

    Wow.. So what happens when you reach a limit? Does it automatically resume after the stipulated time?

    I downloaded using the MegaDownloader app (not Mega Sync) and it screwed up the folders big time. Have over 3K files to sort :mad:

    I experience the same IF they are made from few large zip archives or few large files. But if there are a bunch of tiny files then I would hit the limit
