There are generally three catalysts for Google Drive errors: your user account, your browser, or your Mac or even a combination of these. Surprisingly, Google Drive gives you several methods for downloading any file. So while there might be a glitch with one of them, others might work as usual. Fourth, if you double-click on photos and PDFs, or if you choose Preview from the top menu for any other file, you can then click the download icon at the top.
Fifth, when you try to download a few files at once, Google Drive will create a zip archive. There are instances where this archive could fail to download. To fix this, close the Google Drive tab — it will give you a warning that files were not saved, select Leave and the download should start properly. To fix this, log out of all Google accounts.
Then only log back in with the account that should have access to the file you want to download and try again. The permission errors should now be resolved. So clearing them both could help. The problem is that the process for each browser is quite different and making sure you delete all cached files and cookies is not easy.
When you want full control over the data your browsers retain, you should use an optimization tool like CleanMyMac X. CleanMyMac X is a powerful but intuitive app that lets you tweak any part of your Mac in just a few clicks. You can scan your drive for old, unused files, get rid of mail attachments, free up RAM, reindex Spotlight, uninstall apps completely, and, of course, clean anything within your browser.
After you clear all cache and cookies, make sure the cookies themselves remain enabled for Google Drive to work properly. With ad blockers rising in popularity over the past few years, some web apps started to inadvertently break in unexpected places.
If your WiFi connection is poor or unstable, or simply off, Google Drive might throw all kinds of errors related to file downloading. The best way to troubleshoot your internet connection is to use NetSpot. NetSpot makes it easy to analyze your wireless network in seconds without all the technical complexities.
We seem to be talking at cross purposes. In iOS Chrome, I'm not aware of any option to save a pdf or other file. This allows Chrome to send the URL to other apps, which then import the file themselves. Is that the method you're using? Note that this is not possible for all pdfs, maybe because their owners want to block downloads.
If you're using some other technique, please describe it. Yes, I'm using the Open In function--that's what I meant by save a pdf as I can have it available on the iPad in my local documents in Adobe to access without connectivity which I can annotate and highlight etc. I tap on the pdf in the browser window to select the "open in", and select the option to copy to Adobe.
I can only view the pdf in the web browsers. I've tried this with multiple pdfs from multiple sources from external websites that don't require logins and aren't encrypted and none of the pdfs work.
And yes, all my software and apps are up to date. And, incidentally, I've used this method on my iPhone 5 for years to view and "save" pdfs in adobe locally on my phone so I can access them even in airplane mode etc.
If you're used to a computer, where you can just toss files around and open them with any application that works, you need to recognize that iOS isn't like that. Each iOS app manages its own data as objects.
So, when you try to open a pdf in Adobe, Chrome hands the URL to Adobe and it downloads the file to store inside itself. I've just tested this process with both GoodReader and the Apple iBooks app, both of which work fine. And my pattern is similar to yours. Could you try it and see if it works? You may need to reinstall Adobe, or it may not be updated for iOS I just installed Acrobat Reader from the app store, and transferred the file I referenced to it.
It displayed smoothly and is now stored in Acrobat. I strongly recommend that you reinstall Acrobat. I'm trying to help another user with a similar but not identical problem. Since you downloaded the Acrobat app and it worked for you I'm wondering if the problem isn't specific to different iPad models. I fthat's the case the best we can hope for is a workaround and the feedback link. Oct 9, PM in response to bobseufert In response to bobseufert. It may be device-dependent, but it seems such a basic mechanism.
Certainly with Chrome, I know it just hands off the link for the other app to download, because it's annoying to download a large pdf in Chrome, then download it again in GoodReader.
It's not the normal send to mechanism, which is pre-defined. Chrome somehow calls around to apps that are able to accept a given file probably MIME type. In this OP's case, it finds the app OK, but the handoff seems to go wrong. I suppose the Chrome code may not be entirely compatible with all platforms. Hard to say.
Truer words were never spoken. Sometimes I'd like to be able to ask, "Can you hand me your iPad for a minute? This actually reboots the system.
