Download original filetyes
Until recently, it was possible to download a zip-file with the original filetypes. Now, all my files get converted to Markdown. Is this a bug? How could I download the original files again?

Thanks. It's just odd as I've been able to download source files in the orginal filetype (such as PDF) until a few days ago.
Thanks for your reply. Is this a recent change on Google's side? Until recently, I was able to download the original filetypes with NotebookLM Tools.
