Currently, the "Download File" action can do one of: Overwrite Rename Halt when a filename already exists. Can you please add "Skip" to the options? So if the file already exists, it does nothing except continue? That will save a lot of time when you want to update a folder with new files. I download from folders with thousands of files and this will make it much faster. I am guessing this will be a simple add? Thanks in advance. ---

Hi Hendrik, you can produce a list of files in a folder using the "List of files" action, and then use the "Keep/remove matching" action to remove files that already exist from the list of files to download. Therefore, an option for skipping files is not really necessary. ---
