Download Shared Google Drive Folder as ZIP
Grab any publicly shared Google Drive folder as a single ZIP archive — no need to add it to your own Drive first.
Why this is frustrating without the right tool
- Shared folders force you to copy files into your own Drive first
- Drive's bulk download for shared folders often fails
- Copying eats into your own Drive storage quota
- Mobile users have almost no path to downloading shared folders
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
Frequently asked questions
Can I download a folder shared with me as ZIP?
Yes, as long as it's set to 'Anyone with the link'. Paste the public link into DriveToZip.
Do I need to add it to My Drive first?
No. DriveToZip reads the public share link directly, with no copy needed.
Does this affect my own Drive storage?
No. Files aren't copied to your Drive — they're packaged for download only.
What if the folder is restricted to specific people?
It must be public ('Anyone with the link'). Restricted folders can't be processed.
