The name that appears to the left of your account (e.g., &#8220;OneDrive_Personal&#8221; or &#8220;GoogleDrive_Work&#8221;) is the <strong>Alias<\/strong> you must use in the command.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: The &#8220;download&#8221; Command and How it Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The download command uses the <code>AirExplorerCmd.exe<\/code> executable. Its basic structure is very simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>AirExplorerCmd download \"cloud_alias\" \"cloud_path\" \"local_path\"<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parameters for Controlling Existing Files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When automating downloads, it is vital to decide what to do if the file already exists on your computer. You can add these modifiers at the end of the command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-085fb80e25dcdb15ac93dd3421c7c4df\">\n<li><code>\/O<\/code>: <strong>Overwrite<\/strong> the local file if it already exists (default option).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\/R<\/code>: <strong>Rename<\/strong> the file being downloaded if one with the same name already exists at the destination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\/S<\/code>: <strong>Skip<\/strong> the download if the file is already on your PC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Practical Examples of Automated Downloads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A. Downloading a Documents Folder from OneDrive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to download your &#8220;Documents&#8221; folder from OneDrive to a specific folder on your hard drive: <code>AirExplorerCmd download \"OneDrive_Alias\" \"OneDrive [myaccount]\/Documents\" \"C:\\Backups\\Cloud_OneDrive\" \/O<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PRO Tip:<\/strong> You can get the exact cloud path by <strong>copying it directly from the address bar<\/strong> in Air Explorer while browsing your files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">B. Downloading a File from Mega<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To download a database or a large file from Mega to your local desktop: <code>AirExplorerCmd download \"My_Mega\" \"Mega [myaccount]\/Backups\/Weekly_DB.zip\" \"C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\" \/O<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Automation with .bat Files in Windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid typing the command manually every time you want to update your local files, the most practical way is to create an executable file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-47468e8f7302d12b89705d8bff4173b4\">\n<li>Open Windows Notepad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paste your command (you can add several, one per line, if you want to download from different clouds or many files).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save the file with a <strong>.bat<\/strong> extension (for example: <code>update_local_files.bat<\/code>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whenever you need to download your files, simply <strong>double-click<\/strong> the .bat file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about the Download Command<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-1&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-medium-font-size\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" data-wp-on--keydown=\"actions.handleKeyDown\" id=\"accordion-item-1\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Can I download single files or only folders?<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div inert aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-1\" data-wp-bind--inert=\"!state.isOpen\" id=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>You can download both.
