Enable folder Download option
I contacted support and currently only way to download folder is using IE and open the folder inside Explorer.

As I understand it, there's an MSI package (SQLSysClrTypes.msi)that must be installed manually on the WFEs in an on premises installation to enable geolocation, but…

We have added a new column type, Location, to SharePoint Online. It’s a complete modernization of the scenario, and while it partially uses the geolocation column type under the covers, it’s a much improved user experience. see https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Reinventing-SharePoint-business-process-at-Microsoft-Ignite-2018/ba-p/260444.
