HOW TO download multiple documents in a SharePoint 2010 Library at once

To download a document from a Library in SharePoint 2010, you can right click on it, select Send To & choose Download a Copy -
But what if there were several documents and you wanted them all at once without going through the hassle of downloading each one of them individually?

Jump to the Library tab & click on the Open with Explorer option -

This will open up your Windows Explorer with the folder containing the documents you require within them.

Thanks Lakshmikanth for the tip.

    Awesome.. I had to take the back up of an entire folder with thousands of word and ppt documents. I would have spent the rest of my life on that without this information. :)

    Cheers,

    The Open with Explorer option is active only if you have min. Contribute permission access. With Read access you can't open a Library with Explorer.

In the Maven Crash Course " Learn Power Query, Power Pivot & DAX in 15 Minutes ", Chris Dutton walks through a hypothetical business case while showcasing the power of modern Excel tools like Power Query, Power Pivot and DAX. Power Query is used to extract, transform, and load data from external sources like SQL databases, PDF and CSV files.
