I'm trying to download my university's OneDrive before they cut off my access. The total size is around 300GB, and I have a mix of text, images, videos, and GIS files. My laptop doesn't have enough space, but I do have an external hard drive. What's the best way to get everything downloaded?

Have you tried using rclone? It's a command-line tool that lets you connect to various cloud storage providers, including OneDrive. You can download your files wherever you want.

A good option is to start by syncing your OneDrive. Once files finish syncing, you can move them to your external hard drive and keep everything organized there.

If you're using the web interface, here’s what to do: 1. Log in at onedrive.live.com. 2. Select the files or folders you want to save. 3. Click the 'Download' button. 4. Save the resulting ZIP file directly to your external hard drive. If you want to download everything, you can also change the sync location to your external drive when you set up OneDrive again.

I tried downloading files as a ZIP, but it resulted in corrupt files that were 0MB. So be cautious with that option!

You can simply drag and drop all your files directly to your USB drive using File Explorer. It's pretty straightforward!
