Collector for ArcGIS is the great application for surveying indeed. Unfortunately, after the process of collecting data using Collector for ArcGIS, donwloading the attachments from ArcGIS Online takes a long time to finish.

It would be great if we can download all of the attachments to our local storage at once! As one ZIP file or  a folder, whatever. We can save time a lot!

I hope this would be helpful for us and our customers if it's implemented somehow.

Thanks!

I also agree with this!
To download all attachments at once will be very helpful. I created a GeoForm Template to collect the customers' information. When I want to use the pictures attached, I have to download them one by one. It wated time I think. If this capability is implemented, that would be very beneficial!

There is a user script to do this on github. Haven't tried it out myself but it might be an option for you because doubt we will get this since it can be accomplished thru scripting.

@rgrichards Thanks! I have tried that once. But I still believe that there is gonna be better if we ( maybe only administrator) can download the items through a functional tool on ArcGIS Online.

I once used this workflow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw1K8rmV8O4

There is an update to this now in with ArcGIS Pro 3.4 and above. 

  1. Open ArcGIS Pro and navigate to the hosted layer in Catalog>Portal
  2. Add it to the map
  3. In the Toolbox, look for "Export attachments"
  4. Configure the input, output and naming formats

All the attachments will be downloaded at once. 

This is a good work around however I feel that this functionality should exist anywhere the "Export data" function exists in ArcGIS Online - at the layer level, within the ArcGIS Experience (Replacement of web app) and within Dashboards - basically anywhere the users can download to csv, shp, filegeodatabase. There should be an option there to download all photos/attachments. ArcGIS Online allows me to download each individual photo at the record level under "Data" - if this is possible, why would I not be able to "Select all rows" then "Download attachments" like any other web based system. 

I have added this suggestion to this Idea because it is still bulk download
