Reveal - Download Manager |
Downloading archives from your Reveal project requires Reveal’s Archive Downloader, which can be downloaded using the link in the upper-right corner of the Archives tab (see below). Download Manager is available for MacOS, Windows, and Linux.
Download Your Archive
Open Download Manager.
Click the ellipses [ … ] in the upper right corner to choose an output folder for your download.
We recommend using an empty folder to download your archived project.
Return to Reveal’s Archive tab in the web and click the
blue key icon to the far right of your archived project.This copies an access token needed for Download Manager to find your data. You can also retrieve the token in the “view archived project” page by pressing Copy.
Access tokens auto-generate every time you click the key icon, but tokens still remain valid for 7 days even if they re-generate.
Paste the access token into the Download Token field.
The bottom status log will auto-update to tell you if your token is valid.
Use the slider to choose the number of threads you want during the download.
The maximum number of threads for the downloader is 2x the number of core CPUs in your computer.
Important
A greater number of threads leads to faster downloads. However, be mindful that using a high number of threads could cause network connection or router issues depending on your bandwidth.
Click Download.
The status log will let you know when the job starts and completes.
If you want, you can perform a quality control check on your download by following the steps in our Archives Quality Control Checks article.

Once the download process completes, your output folder will contain the following files:
