  • Do you want to download it from any custom application only or you are fine with SharePoint OOTB suggestion?

If you want to download a folder and all folders/files inside it then you can do it from SharePoint UI.

  • Go to SharePoint library
  • Select folder
  • Click on Download from top ribbon
  • It will download a zip file with folder and its contents

enter image description here

Microsoft documentation: Download files and folders from OneDrive or SharePoint

Update from Comments:

Check this reference to download files programmatically: Download files from document library using C#

  • You can also use PowerShell solution or PnP PowerShell solution if you are OK with it.

I think the best way to store info on SharePoint is to dismiss folders instead of metadata and after create views acts like a folder.
