How to download documents in the desktop application

Updated over a month ago

⚠️ Information in this article is relevant for the Desktop version of Ideals VDR only. For a fast and more user-friendly experience, we recommend that users opt for the browser version–especially for uploading documents. For information on uploading files and folders to the browser version, head to the article Uploading documents.


To download the documents, mark the necessary files/folders in the right working panel (A), click Download (B), and select the destination folder (C).

Choose how to solve any downloading conflicts that may occur (D):

  • ask me what to do – you’ll be asked to pick the preferred solution each time there’s a downloading conflict;

  • keep local file – if a file/folder was previously downloaded or there is a file with the same name, it will not be downloaded again;

  • replace local file with a newer version – if a file/folder was previously downloaded or there is a file with the same name, it will be replaced.

In case you'd like to continuously update your local copy of the documents stored in VDR, the documents synchronization feature may be useful.
