Download resources (media) in bulk (ZIP?)

Please, fill in the below fields to enable the processing of your idea.

Who would benefit?

Key users, marketing employees

What impact would it make?

Less time spend on downloading media one resource at a time.

How should it work?


Select multiple resource entities and create a ZIP (?) containing all the physical files.

Why is it needed?

To make it easier to do quick downloads of specific media set which clients are asking for.


Additional feedback, background or context:

Our client often needs to download multiple resources at once. Which resources need to be download differs per client request. It would be great if inriver would have standard functionality which allows for downloading multiple resources at once (e.g. pack them into a ZIP-file)

    This would be very useful for us as well! When we get requests from distributors, we many times have to manually download a couple of hundred images. It would be very useful if the bulk download allow you to select format (not only original).

    Hi! I’ve started looking into this Product Idea and would like to better understand the scenarios where you need to download media in bulk.

    Could you share some examples of your typical use cases? For example, who needs to download the media, what they do with the files afterwards, and how bulk downloading would fit into your workflow?

    Understanding the context and the problem you’re trying to solve will help us evaluate how we could best support this need.
    If you want to share your thoughts in a meeting please use, https://calendly.com/karin-bjornback/30min.

    Thanks in advance!

    We have been using rich client for our mass-download needs and since it's sunsetting we strongly feel like this functionality should be out of the box native in Inriver. Building custom solutions for something as "base" as this should not be an added cost for us.

    Something we would need!
    And feel like it should be basic functionality

    100% needed. We have custom-built internal tools that can accommodate this. You can script the process, but there should be a bulk resource export.

    My thoughts would be that you have a process that utilizes the results of a query, from there you have export and export media. Export media should allow you some filtering as there can be multiple media types, not just images. So perhaps I might only want to download a resource type configured as "Product Manuals" or some other more specific selection.

    Hi Karin,

    Yes, this is the correct understanding, however, we would like to download resources from the entire workspace area even if its 100 products or 5000 products.

    Hi @Guest,
    I assume that this request is about being able to do this download of multiple resources from within the inriver PIM portal. Have I understood you correctly?
    Kind regards,
    Karin

    This would be a huge benefit to those of us with distributors. Distributors don't often have the ability to receive syndication nor are they willing to log into Content store. So if they need images, we are forced to download them 1x1, which is very inconvenient if they distribute hundreds of items.
