How to export files from Office 365

 

Export files from OneDrive

You can download files and folders from OneDrive Online to your computer with just a few clicks. Here's how:

1. On your OneDrive Online website, select the files or folders you want to download.

2. Select Download.

3. If your browser prompts you, choose Save or Save As and browse to the location where you want to save the download. Some browsers just start saving right away to a Downloads folder on your computer.

If you select multiple files or folders and then select Download, your browser will start downloading a .zip file containing all the files and folders you selected. If you're in a folder and you select Download without selecting any files or folders, your browser will begin downloading all contents of the folder.

Notes: 

  • You can't download OneNote notebooks. If you download a folder that contains a OneNote notebook, the .zip file will contain an error message in the form of a .txt file.

  • The Download button may sometimes disappear if you refresh the web page while looking at a folder. To work around this, you can go up one level in the folder directory and come back or close that tab in your browser and navigate to the folder again.

  • In OneDrive for Business, you can't use Internet Explorer to download folders or multiple files. You can use Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome to download folders or multiple files.

  • Downloads are subject to the following limits: individual file size limit: 15GB; total zip file size limit: 20GB; total number of files limit: 10,000.
