Cannot download files from Google Drive

obelia last edited by obelia@burnout426 Thanks for your suggestions. Sadly, it didn´t help to solve the problem. There was no site in the block list.
In my case, when you click the download button for individual files, you can see "Scanning for viruses..." and "Waiting for drive.google.com" messages and then nothing else happens.
And when I try to download the whole folder as a zip file, it works fine, but i need to download also individual files from a folder. -

An Update: It seems I could solve the problem. I performed an Opera recovery, but keeping my data. So after a few changes to restore my previous settings, I tried to download a file from Google Drive and it succeeded. Hope that this may help others and the problem wont show up again.
Thanks for everyone who replied to this post. Best regards -

@leocg: thanks for your hint. I did the following (in my Debian 10 OS): I renamed my "$HOME/.config/opera" directory to "$HOME/.config/opera.bk" then I started Opera. A new clean "$HOME/.config/opera" directory was created and now I can download files and directories. from Google Drive. I'll check later what was wrong in my previous settings (maybe an extension?).

Sorry, just now I see that I'm posting in the wrong section: Opera for Windows and not Opera for Linux. Forgive me.

Hi, I'm back. I noticed that enabling third-party cookies I can download from Google Drive! Hope it helps.

@leocg i had not tried them.
even when 1 file works fine with download, why a zipped one does not work?? from the same directory and url, thats not logically
without changed cookie settings?? -

@leocg Yes i tried pdf and png and jpeg files.
a single file download works , a multiple file download as zip file does not.
"Ublock origin" switched off and second try switched on
really strange
i will reset whole opera, hope my extensions will not be lost

For future reference, at
opera://settings/content/automaticDownloads, you want to disable "Ask when a site tries to download files automatically after the first file (recommended)" or add the site in question to the allow list.
