Fix most file download errors

For the last few weeks I've had trouble downloading from Google Photos files. It only happened on large files; videos & zip files of multiple images. The problem only affected Chrome - the files would download fine using Firefox. For single images the download would work so I decided it must be something related to the files size. OK, so it's more likely a network issue unique to the problem computer perhaps so hopefully what Broni had to say will help. That said if all else fails you might try the Firefox browser, I virtually never use the Chrome browser myself and I've long ago stopped using IE (the only times would be for development or issue purposes) but rather basically use Firefox (FF) exclusively.

If you try to download a file and it doesn’t work, first try to fix the error with these troubleshooting steps:

  1. Make sure your Internet connection is working normally. If your Internet connection is unstable, learn how to fix Internet stability issues.
    • Chrome will automatically resume the download. You can also resume the file download by clicking the Down arrow Resume.
  2. Try to download the file later.
  3. Contact the website owner.
