Hi Xamial, and welcome to our Community.
At the moment, I’m afraid it’s only possible to download/export files directly to your mobile device from Dropbox, but not entire folders.
However, I’ve already passed this along to our team, as a feedback for them to consider.
If there’s something else I can help with though, let me know.

Is this still the case one+ year later in 2023?

Hi hannahmanierka, currently, there is no change on this topic, as it isn't possible to export or download entire folders on your mobile device.
- Lucifurion9 months agoNew member | Level 2This needs to change ASAP. It’s a no brainer feature that many people expect because it’s so obvious to include it as a matter of course. Do you people have any idea how much of a pain in the ass it is to have to download individual files and then rearrange them all into one folder once they’re downloaded as opposed to just being able to download a single folder? It’s pretty ridiculous that this is still being discussed as to whether to include this basic, fundamental feature or not.
