Extract files from a particular date and save them in a zip file

I would like to extract all the files as of a certain date, say the 31st May 2024 and save them in a zip file.  Is this possible?

    Hey azaries - thanks for posting on our Community and happy Monday!

     

    There's no direct way to do this at this time, but you should be able to achieve this by searching for those files and putting them in a single folder and downloading the folder from the website. 

     

    I hope this helps a tad.

      Thank you Walter.  It would be great new feature though.
