If a website you are using has download links listed conveniently together, you can highlight the links you are going to save files from, right-click the selected area and choose "Download Selected With Folx".
If the links are on various websites, you can copy them and paste into a text editor (e.g. TextEdit), then highlight the list you created and click “Download with Folx” from the menu (i.e.: TextEdit –> Services –> Download with Folx). To enable this option in the menu go to TextEdit –> Services –> Services Preferences –> Text –> Download With Folx. Note: each link has to be in a separate line.
You can also highlight the list of links and click cmd+C on your keyboard to copy them to the clipboard. Then open Folx app and when ready to paste click cmd+V.

Tick the boxes next to files you want to download and click the "Download" button.

You can go ahead and start your downloads from there by clicking "Add Task" or you can use Folx's “Edit task” window before you proceed. You can add tags, change destination folder, etc.
