Where are archived files saved, and how do I download them?
Archives are created in the same folder you archived from, and they download just like any other file. Here's exactly where to find yours and how to pull it down to your PC.
Where archives live
When you archive a selection, the new file appears in the current folder in the Files tab. It behaves like a normal file from there — you can download it, move it, or delete it.
How to download an archive
- After archiving, the new file appears in the same folder in the Files tab.
- Tick it and choose Download to save it to your PC.
- Delete the archive afterward if you don't need it taking up disk space.
Tip: Move the archive to the server root first if you want it easy to find.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download the archive over SFTP? Yes — it's a normal file, so you can grab it over SFTP just like anything else.
