Thanks for your expressions and feedback in a bulk download or print facility for Files (either from the Files library or at an individual transaction level)
We know that bulk operations can be handy, however at this time we have no plans to develop this functionality. We know it might seem like a small feat, however often even small change is more tightly woven and intricate to solve beneath the surface.
While we understand this must be frustrating to hear, we’re currently focused on making improvements in other areas of Xero and are unable to prioritise a bulk download or print feature right now.
However, in situations like these there are often connected apps through the Xero App Store that may be able to assist. We appreciate and will revise solutions that could fulfil needs in this space, but want to be honest this isn’t something we have plans for…

Yes totally agree Alejandra. Problem is what we do about historical data that we have every right to be able to backup and download. I was misled when I started using Xero that if everything is in there I don't need to have it saved separately. How wrong that advice was! What if Xero gets hacked? Am I exposed in the case of a tax audit? So I am currently going through the laborious process of collecting back all that info and saving it separately. This has made me very upset with Xero to have to waste my time like this because of their attitude on this issue. So upset I don't want to remain with them...

Message to Xero: I originally commented on this earlier this year and now having read through recent comments and frustrations, as well as perspectives on your (Xero's) attitude towards not wanting to incorporate this feature I feel so angry about it that I too, will be saving all my files separately in preparation to stop using Xero. Totally outrageous!! I will also actively discourage anyone I know from joining up and encourage people already using it to switch. Let's all vote with our $$ and leave.

We absolutely should be able to export bulk files from Xero. This is a critical backup function. In this day and age of hacking we need to be able to back up files easily.
Glen Johannes I hope you read this. In regard to your comment, "I seriously feel that some consumer legal action be taken against Xero for this flagrant and deliberate avoidance of adding this obvious compliance audit requirement", perhaps there is a way to do something like this? Bringing together all the passionate people on this thread and perhaps even using our accountants who have networks to bring together interested parties and put pressure on Xero. I will certainly be suggesting this to our accountant...
