Working with a large number of files on the web can be tedious, especially if you want to download, upload, or set annotations and provenance. The command line, Python client, and R client have convenient functions for bulk upload and download. Uploading requires a tab delimited manifest where each row in the manifest specifies the file to be uploaded and, optionally, annotations to be applied. Downloading in bulk requires identifying a container (folder, project, table, or view) that contains your files of interest.
