Downloading files and folders from Linshare has several differences and issues: the objective would be to ensure that users experiment the same behaviour when downloading
obtaining an archive or not
grouped files/folders or not,
content is downloaded or not (some files open in the browser)
folders structure is not kept
For now:
downloading single file => file download is sent as is, except PDF files which are opened in the browser
downloading multiple files => each file download is sent as is
downloading a single folder => download is sent as compressed file (as ZIP)
downloading several folders => each folder download is sent as compressed file (as ZIP)
download folders archive do not contain subfolders that do not have files in it, which is really annoying when one wants to share eg. a structure template, without actual content in it
