How to fix Download Problems with Google Drive ?
The failure of downloading seems to be an inevitable symptom when you surf online for many unexpected reasons. As a result, downloading a file from Google Drive may fail with the following message: Failed – Network error.
“Sorry, you can not view or download this file at this time, this is an error message that you may receive when trying to upload files to Google Drive.”
The explanation of the error message is simple: Although users are free to share files in public or with a large number of users, quotas limit availability. If too many users view or download a file, it can be locked for a period of 24 hours before resetting the quota. The period during which a file is locked may be shorter depending on Google. If a file is particularly popular, it may take several days or more before you can download it to your computer or place it on your hard drive.
