+Feature: Download space
+    As a user
+    I want to be able to download space
+    So that I can have it in my local storage
+
+
+    Scenario: user downloads a space
+        Given these users have been created with default attributes and without skeleton files:
+        | username |
+        | Alice    |
+        And using spaces DAV path
+        And the administrator has assigned the role "Space Admin" to user "Alice" using the Graph API
+        And user "Alice" has created a space "download space" with the default quota using the GraphApi
+        And user "Alice" has uploaded a file inside space "download space" with content "some data" to "file1.txt"
+        And user "Alice" has uploaded a file inside space "download space" with content "other data" to "file2.txt"
+        And user "Alice" has uploaded a file inside space "download space" with content "more data" to "file3.txt"
+        When user "Alice" downloads the space "download space" using the WebDAV API
+        Then the HTTP status code should be "200"
+        And the downloaded "tar" space archive should contain these files:
+            | name      | content    |
+            | file1.txt | some data  |
+            | file2.txt | other data |
+            | file3.txt | more data  |
