As Google Drive is a great place to backup and manage a lot of content (such as documents, images, software, etc) in the cloud. All of us use to share, download, or upload files with our friends, family, clients or in public. If you’ve been using it for a long time now, you have probably faced an error by the name of Download Quota exceeded for this file, so you can’t download it at this time.
Let me explain first what this error means?
Basically, users are free to download, upload and share files with people around. Due to that sometimes Google puts a download limit for that. For instance, if a hundred people download a file you’ve shared with, the file will be blocked when the availability limit reaches. Also, you can not download those files from Google Drive.
