title: How do I download multiple files or an entire folder from Google Colab?
body: <p>Currently, I can download files as individual files with the command </p>
  
  <pre><code>files.download(file_name)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried uploading them to the drive with the below code snippet but it is uploading them as individual files.</p>
  
  <pre><code>uploaded = drive.CreateFile({'title': file_name})
  uploaded.SetContentString('Sample upload file content')
  uploaded.Upload()
  print('Uploaded file with ID {}'.format(uploaded.get('id')))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I download multiple files as a folder to my local computer? Or how can I upload these files as a folder to my google drive?</p>
