Download Google Drive Folder as ZIP on Windows

Skip Drive for desktop and Google Takeout — paste any public Google Drive folder link and download a ZIP directly from your Windows browser.

Why this is frustrating without the right tool

Drive's built-in ZIP download often errors out on Windows for large folders
Drive for desktop requires admin permissions and syncs everything
Edge and Chrome can both fail mid-download with no useful error
Google Takeout exports take far longer than you'd expect

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
