Carola (ID: 00000047d24b464d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/04/2023 Great, I had to download hundreds of files from Google Studio that doesn't provide you this option, but a Google rep find out you could download the dynamic links, edit them to non dynamic links and download them all with this extension. This saved me a lot of work and time. Thank you.
