I was having the same problem, but I figured it out. After downloading your project from workspace, click open file then, you'll drag your project folder to desktop. Next, right click on project folder on desktop and click "extract all" from there it should create a new folder which can be uploaded to VS code and will look similar to workspace. :)

I find this video to be very informative. Hopefully this can answer your question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnPhJHN0jTE Also to work on your own code editor, download the files and extract them into a single folder you'll be using.
