I agree that I have too much on my Desktop!
#How to arrange folders placed in outlook for mac 2017 download
Each folder had to be opened in turn and the files then selected for download, and I had to keep changing the default download folder so that the files were downloaded into the correct subfolders. However the major problem was the folders I had on the Desktop. The wasn't too bad as I could change that default folder to be the Desktop. I found that I could only select for download just the files there, and not the folders, and that these files were all downloaded individually into the default Safari download folder. Well yesterday I reset my iCloud Drive options so that Desktop & Documents were not syncing with the Drive and started to download all the Desktop files that were stored in. In that case, they will have to be downloaded. The copy will be relatively instantaneous unless some of the files were "optimized" and are only available on iCloud Drive (not applicable in your case since you didn't optimize). When you copy the files back over, it doesn't really copy them (or move them), it just creates new hard links in your home folders. When you disable the feature, it makes hard links* to the files in iCloud Drive's local storage location and then deletes the files from the now-visible Desktop and Documents. Finder just makes it look like they are not there and in iCloud Drive instead.

Your Desktop & Documents folders still reside where they were with the files in them.
