Office 365 Download Multiple Documents

[Mr_Jiminy]

Why oh why did Microsoft not allow for multiple file download (by default) with OneDrive Business (SkyDrive Pro)/ SharePoint Online???

 

Kind of perplexed by this one, I mean I get the whole SharePoint sharing of files, and the difference between OneDrive domestic and OneDrive Business... However, they provide an 'on mass' drag and drop file facility upload... So why not provide the reverse?!!

 

The Open With Explorer method is frankly flaky, also the 'DownloadMultipleDocuments' third party app has stopped functioning since the SkyDrive/ OneDrive name change (support call logged with solutions2share)

 

I have to say, I love the product, however when the likes of Google Apps provide the facility using GDrive, you would have thought such a basic requirement would have been implemented natively.

 

Please, please MS, revert to domestic version of OneDrive, offering SharePoint/ OneDrive Business not by default, but as an alternative.

Could you not use the Skydrive/Onedrive Pro client program?

Indeed you can, however I'm not sure how this qualifies as a multiple upload facility from within the web based platform. Edited March 7, 2014 by Mr_Jiminy

True, true

Support call logged, fingers crossed they support a third party app!
