I have created an google script which go to my mail and fetch attachments and put it into a folder (shared as anyone with link), and share the link to folder with any given email.But when others open that folder with link it open in google drive viewer(online). Have to open each and every file to download. Is there any way I can let them download whole batch in much more less stressing way?I have tried out creating a folder (lets say folderchild) inside that folder(folderparent) then put all files in folderchild. But still same problem. Have to open that folderchild and open files in there and download them one by one.Zipping attachment is not an option for my solution.Any advices?Thanks in advance.

How to Download Files and Webpages Directly to Google Drive in Chrome Lori Kaufman @howtogeek December 22, 2016, 10:24am EDT We’ve all downloaded files from the web to our computer. Therefore, if Google Drive downloaded each individual file within a folder, each individual file would appear in the Downloads folder of the computer without any folders. Since folders are downloaded as zip files, the zip files need to be decompressed to behave like folders.

If you share a map via Google drive and send the link via email your link has an url of following format:https://drive.google.com/a/FOO/folderview?id=BAR&usp=sharing_eidwhere FOO is the domainname of your organization andBAR is the unique id of the folder (similar to i3AV_u1UsLmTa-dOm22I2XXgioDR8)
Change this url to the followinghttps://drive.google.com/drive/#folders/BAR

Now you can click on the name of the folder and download all files.Note: this is what works today (Jan. '15) in an GAFE (Google Apps For Education) environment.
They should regress to their own drive, choose the 'Shared with Me' option, tick the required folder and use the 'More' -> 'download' option to download all the content in a zip file

There is OPEN IN DRIVE option in upper right corner, (if you are logged in with your google account). It will put a folder of the same name on your google drive. Then you can right click on the folder and select Download option (zip file will be made and downloaded) :)
Download From Google Drive Without Zipping
When they're viewing the folder in their Google Drive, don't they have the option to select it, click the 'More' button and pick 'Download'?
If not, that seems like a bug on Drive and you should report it in the Drive forum / issue tracker.
Select the file(s) first, I get that option after I select(ed) the files to download ;)

I don't have enough reputation to comment on user906489. His URL works, except in the case when using multiple google accounts and the url should not reference the first account.
In that case just insert u/USERID/ after https://drive.google.com/drive/, so thathttps://drive.google.com/drive/#folders/BARbecomeshttps://drive.google.com/drive/u/USERID/#folders/BARwhere, USERID is the number (greater than zero) of your google account.
