Download files from Quorum storage

Everything in your workspace library can come back out exactly as it went in. Downloads always deliver the original file bytes, whatever format the file is in.

Download a single file

On the Files page, use the Download action on the file's row. Your browser saves the file under its original name.

Download several files at once

1. Click a file's type icon to enter selection mode.
2. Tick every file you want. Select all grabs everything currently in view, which is the open folder while browsing or the matches while searching.
3. Choose Download in the selection bar. Files download one after another so your browser can handle each save cleanly.
4. Use Stop selecting when you are done.

About download links

When Quorum hands your browser a direct download link, that link is valid for a short time, around 15 minutes, and then expires. This is a security measure: a link that leaked in a chat log or browser history cannot be used later by someone else. If a link has expired, simply download the file again from the Files page.

For workspaces with enhanced encryption, downloads are served through Quorum's own secure endpoint so files are decrypted for you on the way out. You will not notice any difference in how downloading works.

Downloads always match what you see

A download always delivers the file's current content. If someone replaced the file moments ago, you get the new version, because a file keeps its identity in Quorum even as its content changes. Files imported from OneDrive or SharePoint download just like uploaded files, and the copy you receive matches what sync last imported from the source.

Who can download

Everyone in your workspace can download the workspace's files, whatever their role. Downloading never changes the file or its indexing, so you can grab copies as often as you like without affecting briefings or search.

If a download fails

Check your connection and try again from the Files page, which always issues a fresh link. If a specific file consistently fails while others work, let a workspace admin know so they can raise it with support, mentioning the file name and the time it happened.
