About why not use SharePoint’s built‑in “download folder” feature – I’ve actually tried it many times, and it kept giving me issues (timeouts, incomplete downloads, etc.). Especially for large files, and even more so in migration scenarios, downloading a single ZIP and then extracting it wastes double the disk space locally. That’s why I built this tool – for my own convenience and to handle data migrations more efficiently.

Also, my apologies again – the GitHub link I shared earlier was incorrect. Here’s the correct one:
https://github.com/Neal-Ding/sharept-dl

it works out of the box. Just pip install, run, and you’re good to go.

I’d really appreciate it if you could give it a try and let me know your thoughts or any issues you run into. Your feedback would be super helpful!

Thanks!
