Download projects with external annotation storage

If you want to download a project whose annotation data is being stored in an external storage, then you’ll also need to specify the annotation location path.

To download a project this way:

1. In Downloads, click Prepare Download.
2. Select the folders you want to include in your download.
3. Select one or multiple statuses to filter which items to include in your download.
4. Select an annotation location path available to your team from the dropdown.
5. Check Pinned items to include pinned items in your download (Optional, for local projects only).
6. Click Prepare.
7. When the download is complete, select one of two download options:
   • Get dataset link - you’ll receive a download link that will expire after 1 hour. Anyone with access to the link will be able to download the project data.
   • Download dataset - a zip file containing your project dataset will be downloaded without storing any data on SuperAnnotate’s servers.

📘

• When you prepare your project’s dataset for download, the exportable data will be stored in the location you specify.
• If there isn’t a folder corresponding to the path name you’ve provided, one will be created during preparation.
• The folder will be created with the following path: export / TEAM ID / PROJECT ID / DATASET_NAME.zip
• If the annotations have been deleted, then a folder will be created at the provided path with an empty zip file.

You can send an API request to prepare the project for the export. You can use multiple filters to specify the content of the export bundle. Learn more.
