Hello,

I'm fairly new to box and want to download a publicly available repo which is fairly large in size (>1 TB). How can I parse through the whole repo and download all the files? 

Right now, the only way to do this is by manually download each file, and the repo has >7,000 files. 

This is quite frustrating and impractical. Are there any obvious solutions to this that I might have missed?

Thanks
