Downloading

Downloading files via the Web UI

Downloading files can be done via multiple ways. Depending on your browser, some file formats like image formats are opened instead of triggering a download and can be downloaded by manually saving the images.

• Click on the file name in the file explorer (middle panel) and it triggers the download.

Downloading metadata

In resources with storage space you can download metadata for your files. Only owners and members within a project can use this function.

Click on ↓ -> Download Metadata next to the Download button in the file context menu (right panel) after you selected a file. You will get a turtle file which contains your files metadata (.ttl).
