Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

Exploration in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/compare/ben/chrome-fs-api leveraging new Chrome native fs APIs. More context in MicrosoftDocs/vscodespaces#57 (comment) |

@bpasero I think this is starting to become a bit of an issue. Has there been any investigations here? Rather than using native fs APIs, couldn't we just zip and return a single file? |
None that lead to a conclusion I would say.
We would need to use a third party library for this purpose, as there is no built in zip support in node.js for multi-file archives. We already have some usage of such a library in core (I think to extract extensions) so I think it is doable. Probably needs a bit of investigation if we can do it in a clever way that involves streams and not requires all of the files to be compressed in-memory or even to disk. |

Leveraging new Chrome/Edge file system access API (https://wicg.github.io/file-system-access/) to support downloading folders or large files. |

Very cool |
It would be nice to support a Download option for folders in the explorer just like with files.
