Media Download Failing

Hello Kobo Community,

I’m trying to export and then delete all media files (photos) from a project because they are too large and significantly increasing our storage costs.

I attempted to follow the Media Download API guidance shared here:
https://community.kobotoolbox.org/t/media-download-api/64428/2

However, I do not have the technical background to use the Kobo API or write code.

I need a way to export all photos directly from the KoboToolbox web browser interface to my work computer, without using API scripts or command-line tools.

Is there a straightforward browser-based method to:

  1. Download all media files in bulk

  2. Ensure the files are safely stored locally

  3. Then delete them from the server to reduce storage usage

If bulk export is not available through the browser, what is the simplest step-by-step method you would recommend for non-technical users?

Thank you in advance for your help.
