We recommend placing all of your Google Drive data into a '''single folder''', then downloading it. You can download onto a personal device OR download onto your Riverdale laptop, then upload to a personal cloud storage (Ex: Dropbox, personal GDrive, OneDrive). For data that lives in a Shared Drive, we recommend '''making a copy''' of the desired files and placing them into a folder, then download that folder.
