+# Downloading files by Synapse ID
+
+This tutorial shows how to download any set of files from Synapse using their
+Synapse IDs. Rather than syncing an entire project or folder, this approach lets
+you target exactly the files you need and download them **concurrently** — even
+directing each file to a different local directory.
+
+
+## Tutorial Purpose
+In this tutorial you will:
+
+1. Build a mapping of Synapse IDs to local download directories
+1. Download all files concurrently using the async API
+
+
+## Prerequisites
+* Make sure that you have completed the following tutorials:
+    * [Folder](./folder.md)
+    * [File](./file.md)
+* The target directories (`~/temp/subdir1`, etc.) must exist before running the
+  script. Create them or replace them with directories of your choice.
+
+
+## 1. Build a mapping of Synapse IDs to download directories
+
+Create a dictionary that maps each Synapse ID to the local path where that file
+should be saved. Files can be directed to different directories as needed.
+
+```python
+{!docs/tutorials/python/tutorial_scripts/download_file.py!lines=13-30}
+```
+
+
+## 2. Download all files concurrently
+
+Use `File.get_async()` together with `asyncio.gather` to kick off every download
+at the same time and wait for them all to finish.
+
+```python
+{!docs/tutorials/python/tutorial_scripts/download_file.py!lines=33-42}
+```
+
+<details class="example">
+  <summary>After all downloads finish you'll see output like:</summary>
+```
+Retrieved 12 files
+```
+</details>
+
