How to export attachments from salesforce org to my local system?

Hi All, 
I have a requirement where I need to export all the attchment files from my salesforce org to my local system.

It has to be the complete file and not the metadata.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Suman

The first step in the attachment migration process is to export the attachments. Salesforce recommends using the Data Export feature in Salesforce Data Management Settings to do this. When the Data Export was scheduled, the Export Attachments checkbox was selected as directed.

This blog has clear steps to try it,

I hope you find the above information is helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Hi Suman Kumari,
You can try this Satrang Mass File Download AppExchange App: which will give you an easy way to download the bulk of Attachments. where you can download almost any Attachments under one or multiple records and all Attachments will be stored on your local machine.
