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

                hello,
                even enabling third party cookies, google drive comes up with error message that it has no allowance for downloading several files. (google zip them).
                download a single file works fine.
                whats wrong?
                [*.]drive.google.com is added in the cookies exemption settings
                sincerely tom

                PS: i have opera 74.0.3911.218 and windows 10 adblocker switched off

                    @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??

                      @tango13 Then you have to try them. In fact you should have done that before posting.

                        @leocg i checked this here opera://settings/content/automaticDownloads
                        nothing in the list
                        in microsoft edge it works fine

                        opera tracker blocking disabled

                        i see no other relevant things in the thread, because they refernce linux

                          @tango13 Happens with any kind of file? Adblocker turned off too?

                          Here I can download from Google Drive.

                            @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

                              @tango13 In Google Drive page, click on the padlock badge and then o site settings. Allow multiple downloads and see if it changes anything.

                                    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.
