Google drive files cant be downloaded






















We have covered the Google Drive not downloading Zip files issue in detail. Do take a look for other solutions. To enable cookies, open drive. Click on the tiny lock icon present on the left side of the address bar. Then, select Cookies from the list. In the pop-up window that appears, click on the Blocked tab. Check if you find any link related to Google. Click on that and hit the Allow button at the bottom. Finally, click on Done.

Restart the page or the browser, and you should be able to download the files again. When someone sends you a Google Drive link to download files, you need to be signed in with the same account allowed to access those files.

Basically, Google Drive file sharing permissions works in two ways. The owner who generates a link for the file or the folder can let anyone with the link access the file. In that case, any Google account can be used to view or download files.

But the owner can also restrict the files to a select few users only based on their email address. In such cases, you need to switch your Google account to the right one. If you are a Google Chrome user, you can sign into multiple Google accounts. However, one of them is used as a default account. That account is also used for the Google Chrome sync feature. Whenever you receive a Google Drive link accessible from a different account, you need to switch to that account.

To do so, open drive. You will be signed in with the default account. Click on the profile picture at the top-right corner of the Drive screen. Your Google accounts will show up.

Click on the one that you want to switch to. A new window will open where you are logged in with your second Google account. If you close the window and open the Google Drive website again, you will be logged in with the default account. Repeat the steps to switch the Google account in Drive.

Then try to download files with only one account registered in Chrome. Do you use ad blocker extensions on your browser? Disable any ad blocker or recently downloaded third-party extensions. That should fix the issue. Similarly, if you are using an antivirus on your computer, disable it temporarily. See if you can download files from Google Drive. Sometimes, the issue is with a particular browser only.

First, update the browser. While this is not a proper fix, use this method as a workaround if nothing else lets you download Google Drive files. Basically, when someone sends a Google Drive link to you, copy it and paste it in your browser's incognito mode. To open incognito mode in Chrome, click on the three-dot icon at the top-right corner.

Select the New Incognito window. Paste the link in the new window that opens. The same workaround can be used to download your own Google Drive files or folders as well. Right-click on the file that you want to download. Select Share from the menu. Then copy the link and paste it in the incognito window and download the files.

If nothing works, you should download the Google Drive Backup and sync app. When the download is complete, locate and double-click the installer you downloaded; the file is called InstallBackupAndSync. From the installer window that opens, click and drag the Backup and Sync from Google icon to the Applications folder. The first time you start Google Drive, you have to go through a few steps to get it set up. After that, accessing Google drive is simple.

A warning appears that cautions Google Drive is an application you downloaded from the internet. Click Open. The Welcome to Google Drive window opens.

Click the Get Started button. You are asked to sign in to your Google account. If you don't have a Google account, you can create one by clicking the Create Account text, and then follow the onscreen instructions.

If you already have a Google account, enter your email address and click the Next button. The Google Drive installer displays a number of tips about using the app, requiring you to click through the information.

Google Drive will add a special folder on your Mac, aptly named Google Drive, to your home folder. Click the Next button. You can choose to download Google Drive for your mobile device as well. You can designate items in your Google Drive to be shared with others. The installer finishes by adding a menu bar item, and finally, by creating the Google Drive folder under your home directory.

The installer also adds a Google Drive sidebar item to the Finder. The heart of working with Google Drive is the Google Drive folder, where you can store items you wish to save to the Google cloud, as well as share with others you designate.

While the Google Drive folder is where you'll spend a great deal of your time, it's the Menu bar item that will let you exercise control over your Google Drive. The menu bar item gives you quick access to the Google Drive folder located on your Mac; it also includes a link to open Google Drive in your browser. It also displays recent documents you have added or updated and tells you if the syncing to the cloud has completed. Perhaps more important than the status info and drive links in the Google Drive menu bar item is the access to additional settings.

This displays a menu that includes access to help, sending feedback to Google, and more importantly, the ability to set Google Drive preferences and to quit the Google Drive app. For now, click on the Preferences item. However, one of the best uses of any Cloud-based storage system is to link the storage to multiple devices, for easy access to synced files from all of your devices: Macs, iPads, iPhones, Windows, and Android platforms.

So, be sure to install Google Drive on any device you own or have control over. Google Music is Google's go to service for all things music.

While that is the case, I'm not entirely sure if users from all over the world have access to it.
