How do I download a file from a shared folder?

I have uploaded 500 pictures to a shared office live folder.  My sister
wants to download them to her hard drive.  How do you do that?

I can see if you click on a picture to open it there is a 'save as' button
but she obviously does not want to do that 500 times.  On the main screen
there are check boxes down the left that let you select all the files but
the copy button does not work (it does not allow a copy and paste to a local
folder - only copy and paste to another windows live folder).  Drag and drop
does not work either.

What version of MS Office do you have?

I do not think there is a way for her to save all 500 files all at once
through Office Live. There are other ways to share photos through Windows
Live. You can use Sky Drive on Windows Live to share photos and she can
download a .zip file of the whole folder. So, upload all the photos to
Windows Live Sky Drive Photos, give her permission to access that photo
album, then tell her to download the folder as a .zip file which is the only
option for downloading them all at once, I believe.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to set this up.
