<![CDATA[Interrupted : Insufficient Permissions - unable to download email attachments in Gmail opened in Opera]]>Since upgrading to Opera 53.0, I am unable to download email attachments when Gmail is opened in Opera. I keep getting the message Interrupted : Insufficient permissions. This was not a problem before the upgrade, nor is it a problem when I download the same attachment with Gmail opened in Firefox or Outlook. I thus assume that somehow the upgrade modified my settings in Opera, but I cannot figure out what or where. Any ideas?

If you don't use it, then you have a different problem that should be discussed in another topic.

entering this in a Terminal.app instance

I don't use Gmail. And I don't understand your instructions. Please clarify.

Could you try running Opera with a temporary profile to see if you still have the problem then? You can do that by entering this in a Terminal.app instance:

open /Applications/Opera.app --args --user-data-dir=$HOME/.opera-throwaway

Now try logging into gmail and downloading your documents again. If the problem occurs again in the same way, we know that it's not your Opera configuration causing it. If the problem is fixed, we can start seeing what in your profile is triggering this behavior.

If not I'm going to have to change to another browser permanently.

I have been using Opera since version 0 precisely because it has been largely bug free. I hope that our Norwegian friends have taken note that they have a problem that seems to be extensive and is considering the faithful to abandon ship.

Not sure what to do other than go back to Firefox...

So no, it is not a more general issue.

In some cases your network or firewall can interrupt a download, but the message (in Windows anyway) wouldn't say "Insufficient permissions". I was originally going to say something about firewalls a couple of days ago until I recalled it was the wrong message, so I canceled my reply. Though I wondered if it was similar to the keychain issue other Mac users are reporting.

Judging from the large number of views, even though the number of posts is limited, I conclude that the problem is a general one, but does not seem to concern Windows' users.

I'm having the same problem with downloading files in Opera 53.0 on my Mac. It only started happening in the last few days. Again, these downloads work fine in other browsers.

@burnout426 Thanks for the interest. I am using the new Gmail, the problem concerns at least excel and pdf files, so it probably is a general issue and I still have the problems in private windows. My suspicion is that the answer lies with Opera and not Gmail, as I am able to open the same attachments that give me problems in Opera, in other browsers such as Firefox and Outlook.

Same problem for me, I'm on Ubuntu Linux platform, but I have problems in attachment downloads.

Does it happen with all types of attachments or just a certain file type?

I can't confirm with a .txt file with the new look. I'm Windows though and my Opera profile is super fresh.

If you log into mail.google.com in a private windows and try it, does it work there?
