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…An error occurred while saving the comment

We have created Numerint that allows you to export Xero attachments with a backup CSV, take a look here to see if it could help you. https://numerint.com/
https://apps.xero.com/uk/app/numerintbackup
Numerint exports files associated with any type in Xero that support attaching files:
accounts, bank transactions, bank transfers, contacts, credit notes, invoices, manual journals, over payments, pre payments, purchase orders, quotes and repeating invoices.
The export can scale to any number of attachments and it is not uncommon for customers to export tens of thousands of files that might take several weeks (Xero has throttling to limit the rate). It can export dozens of your companies simultaneously and all run in the background. No need to leave your computer on.
You can do a full export or use filters to choose specific date ranges or only certain Xero types e.g. all Invoices (supplier bills and customer invoices) for a single financial quarter. You can also perform differential exports to retrieve all the files since your last export.
The export comes with a comprehensive data file that carries a lot of data about the exported files. E.g. the contact name, the date, the amounts, the line items, tracking codes.
Customers use it for backing up, supporting an audit as well as migrating to another accounting platform. For example we've had customers with dozens of Xero subscriptions all being migrated needing tens of thousands of files to be moved. For larger jobs it is easier to contact Numerint directly to create a single invoice or tackle any custom requirements.
