Generate URL to download contents of a folder from storage

Use case

I use Next.js app deployed on Vercel. Long story short, I had an endpoint that responded with an archive of folder's contents from Supabase. But Vercel set response size limit on serverless functions to 4.5 mb and recommends using media host, so serverless functions is a no go for me.

Other options for me would be to self-host Next.js app or to make separate server to handle this functionality only. Both of them are overkill. By the way, Supabase + Next.js on Vercel is a pretty common stack and anyone who want to implement similar functionality faces the same issue.

I saw a couple of similar requests but they lead nowhere.

Some important questions

• Are there any technical limitations in implementing such functionality in Supabase? Maybe there are many decisions to make and implementation might be too opinionated.
• Are there anything in the idea that goes against what Supabase is and where it's going?
• Were this feature considered internally at all?
