Paizo is a great site, but we can return to better-er! We can shore up walls against the encroachment of Drive Thru RPG by direct links to dropbox AND google docs! We can institute enhanced validation checks by directly downloading documents instead of downloads of ziped files! WE CAN MAKE PAIZO GREAT AGAIN!
Ok, jokes aside-Drive Thru has some features I'd like to see on this site. I love direct to dropbox downloads and being able to download files one at a time instead of ziped files. I have to unzip on my phone then move to dropbox to move to my iPad. It's a pain, but I can do it. Anyone else want to just have direct downloads and direct to drive options?
It doesn't bother me overly much to download zips -- but then I do it on a computer rather than a phone.
If it is easy for them to implement then sure. Otherwise, I prefer the status quo and let the resources be used elsewhere.

I'm totally okay with unzipped downloads as an option. Just like file-per-chapter downloads, it's just another option. That said, part it may be how things are designed back-end for multi-file packages.
As for Dropbox, well, they're one of the Great Internet Satans, so I'd rather see them fall off the face of the universe than get used. Any company that develops software that by default figures its local cache of what you upload is in your roaming profile should just cease to exist. I'm kind of tired of this idiot software that users can install without administrator permissions, and it enables users to upload files from My Documents to the site, which it then downloads again, into the roaming profile, which then gets saved to the server again at logoff. Yeah. One file exists in four places. Thanks. **And before any pedant IT folks come along, yes, I know I could implement GPOs for software restriction, but that's got its own downsides, thanks.**
TLDR; yes, and no, respectively.
