To download assets in the AEM collections which has apparently 1000 assets

Question

Hi Team,

We are handling assets for one of our client. We have a scenario where the user will add nearly 1000 or 1000+ assets in the collections. Is it possible to download all the assets in one go using download option of collections? will it impact the system speed. If there is any other option to download the entire collection having nearly 1000 assets in single go please let me know.

Thanks,

Nithya

Hi @nithya90

Asset downloads will be handled with async requests in AEM. You can check status here

Tools > General > Jobs

You can relevant topics over here for managing large asset downloads --

@nithya90 It can get challenging due to limitations like browser download thresholds, network restrictions etc. too. It is recommended to download in smaller collection chunks. You could try to adjust pagination settings in AEM to load more assets per page.

You could use assets API and create scripts to download assets in chunks in parallel using multiple threads.
