Download files in bulk






















When the ZIP file is unzipped, the path length is the sum of the length of the file path of each document in the ZIP file and the location on the computer where the file is unzipped, including the drive letter e. Therefore, if the path length of the documents in the ZIP file is long, unzip the file to a location near the root of the hard drive, to create the shortest path possible and keep it under the character limit.

This is only a concern with the regular version of the bulk download, as the HTML version saves the documents in a flat structure. Because there is no limit on path lengths inside Collaborate, the path length of a file may be in excess of the operating system limit when an attempt is made to unzip the ZIP file. In that case, WinRAR and 7zip can be used to open a ZIP file that contains paths above the Windows file limit and extract individual files that could otherwise not be unzipped.

The non-HTML version of the bulk download simply recreates all of the documents and folders in a regular directory structure.

If the Include special characters checkbox is selected, then only the HTML version of the bulk download will display the illegal characters. HTML navigation : With this option unselected, the files will be saved as a folder tree with the full directory structure left intact. With this option selected, the files will be saved in a flat file format and an extra HTML file will be included that makes it easy to navigate to the downloaded content in a browser.

One advantage of the HTML version is that file paths are not limited to the characters found in the Windows operating system. Also, with the HTML version - illegal file characters can still be included in file names.

The manifest has columns that contain information about each file to be uploaded along with annotations that will be associated with the file in Synapse. You can also create provenance for a file during bulk upload. Adding a used column indicates files that were used to create the one being uploaded, and the executed column can indicate code in Synapse or on the web that was used to generate the file.

Here is an example manifest that uploads a single file:. The above manifest describes a file. Additionally, the file has been annotated with emotion: grumpy and species: cat. Additional annotations could be associated with the file by adding more columns. The name is only necessary if the displayed name in Synapse should be different than the name of the uploaded file.

Instead, the client checks that: the manifest file format is correct, all file paths exist, all files are unique, provenance can be set optional , and the parent synID exists.

The number of files and total upload size is also summarized in the dryRun output. This helps ensure your data upload does not end prematurely due to a typo in the file path or parent synID. Validate the manifest in the Python client or command line. Validate the manifest in the R client.

After validating the manifest, you can now upload the files to Synapse by removing the dryRun parameter. Once the upload is complete, you will receive an email notification. This notification will also show any errors from the upload. Files can be downloaded in bulk using the syncFromSynapse function.
