<p dir="ltr">Hi Mnqweno,</p>
<p dir="ltr">This should be very basic stuff for a Pro GIS Practitioner ( feel free to correct me if I am wrong). <br>
Enable the processing toolbox in qgis and search for convert or translate. Select convert format under ogr, select run as batch top right corner. Fill in the parameters. <br>
I would recommend using gdal and python or run as a .bat script and skip qgis entirely. I realy enjoy qgis but in my experience it tends to be sluggish at times with large datasets.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Best Regards</p>
