Multiple file download SharePoint document

Hi all ,

I have SharePoint 2019 on-prem. I wanted to download multiple files on single click, but button is not appearing.

As per this article this feature is already available in SharePoint 2019 version.

Can anyone suggest what could be the possible reason ?

few questions:
- can you download single file?
- did you check it in different browsers?
- did you check with different user accounts?

Hi @MahadevPrasad-0538 ,

As per my test, I couldn't download multiple files on a single click. Also, I couldn't find the "Download" button when selecting multiple files in my SharePoint Server 2019 environment which has installed the latest August 10, 2021 CU. This feature is not available in different browsers I tried such as IE, Chrome, Firefox. So I think this appears to be by design or this feature hasn't been rolled out. As an alternative, we can use OneDrive to sync the files to our local computer.

Thanks for your reply @AllenXu-MSFT ,
Yeh , even for me it is same. But I was just wondering if I missed some settings or something else . Why Microsoft quoting it is available with SharePoint 2019.

@MahadevPrasad-0538 ,

As per my knowledge, actually there is no such setting to set whether to allow users to download files in batches in SharePoint Server 2019. I don't think we missed anything. As to the article, I can indeed download multiple files in my Microsoft 365 SharePoint Online as describred in the article, but I couldn't find any way to achieve this in SharePoint Server 2019. You can open a ticket with Microsoft to make it clear.
