Download Folder with API V2 [ Not file , i need to download folder/s]

I know how to download a File and get also the progress , but i don’t know how to do it for a Folder . For example on the DropBox website when you click to download a folder , it downloads it as a .zip . How this can be done ? I CAN’T FIND NO WHERE AN EXAMPLE OF THIS 😃 please some help .

So downloading a File with the API V2 is pretty easy like :

/**
 * Download Dropbox File to Local Computer
 * 
 * @param client
 *            Current connected client
 * @param dropBoxFilePath
 *            The file path on the Dropbox cloud server -> [/foldername/something.txt]
 * @param localFileAbsolutePath
 *            The absolute file path of the File on the Local File System
 * @throws DbxException
 * @throws DownloadErrorException
 * @throws IOException
 */
 public void downloadFile(DbxClientV2 client , String dropBoxFilePath , String localFileAbsolutePath) throws DownloadErrorException , DbxException , IOException {
				
	//Create DbxDownloader
	DbxDownloader<FileMetadata> dl = client.files().download(dropBoxFilePath);
				
	//FileOutputStream
	FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(localFileAbsolutePath);
	System.out.println("Downloading .... " + dropBoxFilePath);
				
				
	//Add a progress Listener
	dl.download(new ProgressOutputStream(fOut, dl.getResult().getSize(), (long completed , long totalSize) -> {

		System.out.println( ( completed * 100 ) / totalSize + " %");
					
	}));
				
				
}

where ProgressOutputStream is the below :

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;

/**
 * Used to track progress of OutputStream User 
 * 
 * @author GOXR3PLUS
 *
 */
public class ProgressOutputStream extends OutputStream {
	
	private OutputStream underlying;
	private Listener listener;
	private int completed;
	private long totalSize;
	
	public ProgressOutputStream(OutputStream underlying, long totalSize, Listener listener) {
		this.underlying = underlying;
		this.listener = listener;
		this.completed = 0;
		this.totalSize = totalSize;
	}
	
	@Override
	public void write(byte[] data , int off , int len) throws IOException {
		this.underlying.write(data, off, len);
		track(len);
	}
	
	@Override
	public void write(byte[] data) throws IOException {
		this.underlying.write(data);
		track(data.length);
	}
	
	@Override
	public void write(int c) {
		try {
			this.underlying.write(c);
			track(1);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
	}
	
	private void track(int len) {
		this.completed += len;
		this.listener.progress(this.completed, this.totalSize);
	}
	
	/**
	 * The total File size
	 * 
	 * @return the totalSize The total File size
	 */
	public long getTotalSize() {
		return totalSize;
	}
	
	public interface Listener {
		public void progress(long completed , long totalSize);
	}
}

The API now offers the ability to download folders as zips. In the Java SDK, you can use the downloadZip method:

OMG CHILL 3 minutes past lol. Check the repository XR3Player i have inside the code you want everything from download to upload. Give me time to find it if you don’t.
