There are two main ways to download files:

  1. Individually through the browser or through the command line with the gen3-client
  2. Batch downloads through the command line with gen3-client

This guide will walk you through both methods below.

Download a Single File

Explorer Page

The easiest way to download a single file is through the Explorer page. This page will show all files belonging to projects that you have access to.

To download a single file:

  1. Select the File tab and scroll down to the list of files
  2. Select the Download ID for the file of interest

File list

3. Select Download on the file page

Download single file

gen3-client

Alternatively, if you already know the GUID of the file of interest, simply pass it to the gen3-client:

gen3-client download-single --profile=aced --guid=<GUID>

For example, to download the file with GUID f623df8f-5dad-5bce-a8ca-a7b69b7805a5:

gen3-client download-single --profile=aced --guid=f623df8f-5dad-5bce-a8ca-a7b69b7805a5

Download Multiple Files

To download multiple files:

  1. Select the File tab on the Explorer page
  2. Optionally filter by project, data type, and format
  3. Select the Download Manifest button

File manifest

4. Download the files by passing the file manifest to the gen3-client:

gen3-client download-multiple --profile=aced --manifest=file-manifest.json

Using the example project in the above screenshot, this command will download all 12 JSON files from the aced-demo project into the current working directory.
