Downloading Files and Folders

You can download copies of individual files or whole folders from SharePoint. When you do so, you create local duplicates of that content that are no longer linked to what is in SharePoint. The changes that you make in the copy will not automatically show up in the original, or vice versa.

Caution: Avoid downloading copies of content with sensitive information, as this increases the risk of exposure.
