How to download files from Mitt UiB

Some courses have Files in the course menu, while some courses don't. It all depends on local choices made by teachers and admins.

When you find Files in the course menu, you may download files from the file storage of the course.

Find the file you want.
Point (without clicking) to the file name, and select the three vertical dots that appear on the right end of the file line. Then choose "Download" in the little drop-down menu that appears.
If you directly click on the file name (a blue link), you can get a preview of the file before you download. In the preview, the choice "Download" will also appear again (marked by an arrow icon) in the upper right hand corner. You can download the file by clicking on "Download".
You can also download the file by right clicking and choosing "save as".

How to download more than one file at the same time

When one or more files in the file list are marked, you will see a small, grey menu with different choices appear to the left above the file list. This includes the choice "Download". If you click on this choice while several files are marked at the same time, you will start a download of several files in the zip format.
You can mark several files at once by holding down the Ctrl key while you're choosing files from the list.
You can tell that the files have been marked by the fact that a vertical, blue stripe will appear on the left in front of each file name.
You can also use this downloading function to download one file at a time.

How to download an entire folder

When you find the choice called Files in the course menu, and the files are stored in folders, you may download an entire folder.

For doing this, hover over the folder name with your mouse pointer, choose the three vertical dots that appear in the right side of the file line, and choose "Download" in the little drop-down menu that then appears. This will start the file downloading in the zip format, even if you only choose 1 file.

The method is the same for personal files, group files and course files.
