While the option to download to a local folder may work for some people, it is a risky endeavor due to security implications and the lack of the ability to restore accidentally deleted files. Data and recovery level classification applies to all institutionally owned data, and retaining sensitive data in laptops or portable drives is not recommended. Files should be stored on services the university officially provides both for security and for the ability to restore. We don't actively recommend that people download files to offline storage wholesale, but you can make an informed decision based on your individual situation.
