How to download entire file from OneDrive

I can upload a file to OneDrive, but on my Kindle Fire Tablet, I can't seem to be able to download the entire folder onto my tablet. I can download those files, but only individually.

Is there a way to do this in one fell swoop?

EDIT: to clarify that I want to download entire folders at one time, but currently I can only download individual files.

so i'm confused.....can you download a file or not?

you first say you can't "download the file onto my tablet", but then you say you can download the files, but "only individually".

......can you elaborate more?
 
My mistake. What I meant was, I can download individual files, but I cannot download the entire folder at one time. I edited my post to say what I meant.

What happens when you try to download an entire folder?

Are all the files you want to download already in one folder before downloading?
(I assume that they are, but I have to ask.)

Have you tried uploading all the files in one folder onto some other cloud storage, and then tried to download them as one folder?

Nothing happens when I try to download the entire folder. I'm just not sure how to go about doing it. I can select the folder in the OneDrive app, but I don't see any Download option after doing that. And yes, the files are all in one folder up on OneDrive.

I went into my OneDrive then into a folder and clicked the download button at the top and nothing was happening.

It only worked after I disabled my ad blocker(adguard). It downloaded all files in a zip archive.
 
I could see if I were accessing OneDrive in a browser, that this could be my problem. But I'm using the android app for OneDrive (by MS), so I'm not sure what could be blocking me from downloading the entire folder.

Your ad-blocker is global- meaning the entire device.

One Drive must have ads or such that trigger the block.

Things like this are what prevent me from using ad-blockers- other than what is included with my browsers.

I have had multiple ad-blockers, only to discover that I basically can no longer connect to the internet because basically the entire internet runs off of ads and data mining.

By the way, did you try Degoo?
 
Thanks for the suggestion to try another service. I do have another account at box.com, and I was able to successfully download an entire file and view the contents, so I'll just use that app on my kindle fire from now on.
