Fifth, when you try to download a few files at once, Google Drive will create a zip archive. There are instances where this archive could fail to download.
To fix this, close the Google Drive tab — it will give you a warning that files were not saved, select Leave and the download should start properly. To fix this, log out of all Google accounts. Then only log back in with the account that should have access to the file you want to download and try again.
The permission errors should now be resolved. So clearing them both could help. The problem is that the process for each browser is quite different and making sure you delete all cached files and cookies is not easy. When you want full control over the data your browsers retain, you should use an optimization tool like CleanMyMac X. CleanMyMac X is a powerful but intuitive app that lets you tweak any part of your Mac in just a few clicks.
You can scan your drive for old, unused files, get rid of mail attachments, free up RAM, reindex Spotlight, uninstall apps completely, and, of course, clean anything within your browser. After you clear all cache and cookies, make sure the cookies themselves remain enabled for Google Drive to work properly. With ad blockers rising in popularity over the past few years, some web apps started to inadvertently break in unexpected places.
If your WiFi connection is poor or unstable, or simply off, Google Drive might throw all kinds of errors related to file downloading. The best way to troubleshoot your internet connection is to use NetSpot. NetSpot makes it easy to analyze your wireless network in seconds without all the technical complexities.
At a glance, you can get information on signal strength and noise levels. You can test your speed and even create a heatmap to see how the WiFi signal is actually spreading across your space. Another Mac-centric solution for when you cannot download Google Docs is to bypass the browser altogether and download Backup and Sync from Google, which turns your Google Drive into a folder on your Mac, from which you can copy files just as you would with any local folder.
CloudMounter is a unique tool that lets you mount any cloud storage locally on your Mac, but as an external drive, meaning it would take up no local storage space just like an external physical hard drive. Once you mount Google Drive with CloudMounter, you can essentially download any files just by dragging it out of the Google Drive folder to your Mac. As you can see, the Google Drive not downloading problem has lots of potential solutions.
First, try a few options of downloading the file from Google Drive itself. Then, log out and log back in using a single account. Try to go into the private browsing mode.
Disable your ad blocker. Stabilize your WiFi with NetSpot. If all else fails, restarting your Mac is always there.

On iPhone, you can also take the help of the share button to download single or multiple images. For that, select multiple images on the home screen of the Google Photos.
Tap on the share icon. Select Save images. When you download an old picture from Google Photos, you will not find it at the top. Instead, it will be available on the same date that is associated with the image in Google Photos. For instance, if you had added the photo on 23 June and you download it on your phone, you will have to scroll down in Google Photos to view it in the June section. When you download photos or videos from Google Photos, your phone needs to have storage permission to store them.
To check and grant permissions, follow these steps. Since you are downloading something, you need to have enough storage on your phone to store that.
If the files are missing even after using the Save to device option or you get errors like unable to download in Google Photos, do check for available storage. If the storage is full, check the tips to free up storage on iPhone and Android. If the Save to device option is missing, you must be using an older version of the app.
We suggest updating the Google Photos app from the respective stores on Android and iPhone. Find out how to know if an app update is available.
If you are unable to download photos even by pressing Save to device, try clearing cache for the Google Photos app on your Android phone or tablet.
By clearing cache , your photos will not be deleted. You can download single or multiple photos from shared albums without any issue. For that, open the shared album under the Sharing tab. Select the photos that you want to download. Tap on the download icon at the top. If none of the above solutions help, we have some workarounds that you can use for the time being.
Firstly, some Google Photos users have suggested adding the photo or video to an album in Google Photos. Then, download the file to your phone from there. Secondly, you can share the photo with some other apps and then download them on your phone from them.
For instance, on iPhone, you can add them to the Notes app using the available option under the share icon. Thirdly, you should try re-adding your account by removing the account from Google Photos first. If you have recently added the photo or video to Google Photos, and now you are trying to download it on another device, you need to have patience. You might be able to view the photos or play the video normally, but the Save to device will be unavailable.
In such circumstances, give some time to Google to process the data. Next up: Do you want to transfer the pictures in Google Photos to another account? Find out how you can do that from the link below.
