    No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to download folders as zips, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.

        Since the API doesn't offer a way to download the folder as a zip like this, you'll need to iterate through each desired file in the folder and download each one normally.
