Download Google Drive Folder as ZIP on iPad
The fastest way to grab a full public Google Drive folder as a ZIP archive on iPad — works in Safari, no app required.
Why this is frustrating without the right tool
- iPadOS Safari can't bundle Drive folders into a ZIP natively
- The Google Drive iPad app only downloads files one at a time
- Split View workflows break when juggling dozens of individual files
- Most desktop tutorials assume right-click — which iPad doesn't have
How DriveToZip solves it
- Paste the public Google Drive link (folder or file)
- We estimate size and file count automatically
- Tap Convert — download the ZIP or send it to your email
