Downloading & Synchronizing the Collections

Since these images are completely free to use (see copyright and usage), you may wish to copy the entire collection (or some portion of them) to your computer. This page outlines helpful tools to help you download the collection. You can also check out Other Recommended Software for working with this collection.

Direct Download

The quickest way to download the photos is to use the Download button. You can choose to “Download all files” which will download the entire collection as a .zip file. Beware, though, that the high resolution collection is around 40GB. You can also download individual folders from the folder menu the same way. Windows Explorer may not be able to open the zip file, but you should be able to extract it using 7-zip or a similar tool.

CyberDuck

You can use one of many different WebDav clients to access and download the images in the collections. CyberDuck is a free download (here) which can make this easy. (Warning: watch out for malicious ads on this site!) Once you’ve installed the software, connect to the following URL using the share token as the username (password can be blank, or anything):

WebDAV URL: https://cloud.fiforms.org/dan_cloud/public.php/webdav/

  • High-Resolution Collection:
    • Share Token/Username: TrjZLnLdf7QHcBY
    • Quick Connect URL: https://TrjZLnLdf7QHcBY@cloud.fiforms.org/dan_cloud/public.php/webdav/
  • Medium Resolution Collection:
    • Share Token/Username: tSkY7gainasSTpD
    • Quick Connect URL: https://tSkY7gainasSTpD@cloud.fiforms.org/dan_cloud/public.php/webdav/
  • Illustration Collection:
    • Share Token/Username: MNWzy6knSWkK2dm
    • Quick Connect URL: https://MNWzy6knSWkK2dm@cloud.fiforms.org/dan_cloud/public.php/webdav/
  • Video Collection:
    • Share Token/Username: f34TFrJSoJNCJnA
    • Quick Connect URL: https://f34TFrJSoJNCJnA@cloud.fiforms.org/dan_cloud/public.php/webdav/

You can browse the collection here and copy individual files or folders to your computer. You can also create a local folder and use the “Download” feature to pull the collection (or some part of it) down to your local computer.

RClone (command line)

This is a command-line alternative to using CyberDuck (above). If you are somewhat comfortable using a command line, you can use Rclone to copy and sync the collection from Nextcloud to your computer over the WebDAV protocol. Here are basic directions:

  • Download Rclone and extract it on your computer
  • Open a command prompt / terminal (in Windows, press Ctrl+R, type “cmd” without quotes and press enter)
  • Run the following commands
    • replacing “rclone” with the full path to rclone.exe if needed, e.g. c:\rclone\rclone.exe
    • replacing “/path/to/pictures” with the correct path, e.g. “c:\users\my_user\Desktop\BiblePictures”

If you wish to host a mirror of this collection or some portion of it on your own site, you are (obviously) welcome to do this. We do encourage you to get in touch with us, though, so that we can coordinate our efforts.
