DAM Forces Manual Folder-by-Folder Downloads

Summary / Problem:

Users cannot download a parent folder and all of its subfolders in a single action. To download a full folder structure, users must manually open and download each subfolder one by one, making this a frequent, manual, and time-consuming task.

This limitation slows down workflows and increases the risk of incomplete downloads, especially when users need to preserve the original folder organization.

Proposed Solution:

Enable downloading at the parent folder level so that selecting "Download" on a parent folder includes all nested subfolders and assets in a single ZIP file, while preserving the original folder hierarchy.

Business Impact / Why This Matters
• Users often rely on folder structure to understand asset context, usage, or ownership
• Current workarounds (collections or manual downloads) break folder hierarchy
• Preserving hierarchy reduces rework, confusion, and asset misplacement after download
• Aligns with standard expectations from DAM and file management tools
