Dear All, I am attempting to use the R synapse tool ("library(synapser)") to download the idat files for the methylation analysis. However, as the idat files are found in many different folders I can't see any obvious way of setting a command to download them all? I am assuming that people must have done this previously? Please could someone help me with how to download all of the iDat files? Kind Regards and many thanks. Ashley

Hi Ben, Thank you very much for the response. I was hoping for a command to download only the idat files to save memory? I will download the whole folder though. Is there a way to get the folder size of the syn7357283 folder as I cannot see an option to view the size before downloading it? Thank you very much for your help. Kind Regards Ashley
Dear Ashley, This command should do the trick. It will pull all the folders that have the idat files, along with the idat files themselves. ``` synapse get -r syn7357283 ``` Ben
