You can find and download files from the Synapse web interface or by using one of the programmatic clients /wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/1985446128.
If you are downloading files from the web, you can either download single files at once, or you can add multiple files to a download cart, which is similar to an online shopping cart. There is a catch with downloading from the web—the maximum size of a download is 5 GB, or a maximum of 100 files if using the download cart.
For instructions on downloading from the web, see Downloading Data From the Synapse UI /wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/2004254837.
For instructions on downloading larger files in greater numbers using one of our programmatic clients, see Downloading Data Programmatically /wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/2003796248.
