What does “download quota exceeded” mean in Google Drive?




 There are two scenario where you can get this error that says “Too many users have Viewed and Downloaded this file recently …..” -

  1. In case you have shared Folder and you are not able to download a file with the same error - Right click-> make a copy of that file and then Download that copy (Right Click-> Download)
  2. In case you have a shared link and you get this error “Too many users have viewed and Downloaded this file recently…”

Check the url which will look something like this https://drive.google.com/u/7/uc?id=<someID>&​​​export=download

  • Replace uc with open
  • Remove "export=download"
  • Link should look something like this "​https://drive.google.com/u/7/open?id=<someID>&​​​” hit Enter and Download the file.
