<\/span><\/h2>\nBefore you learn how to solve the issue regarding excessive download of any file, you must have to be aware of the reasons behind this problem. Whenever you create an account or start using Google drive, it shows an instructional automated notification.<\/p>\n
By using that notification, you can learn about all the complications and instructions regarding the use of Google drive. Mostly, we just ignore it and have to face some problems in the future. That is the main reason why you are unaware of the reasons behind the download quota exceeded for this file issue.<\/p>\n
The very first problem is the limited data uploading or downloading facility in Google drive. Being a free user, you will get some limitations while using this cloud-based storage program. You can only upload files with having a maximum of 750 GB of data on your drive.<\/p>\n
While sharing files daily, you also have to face the same limit that might be the reason behind this issue. If you have reached this daily limit, you will keep getting such errors on your screen and won\u2019t be able to download any file on the same day.<\/p>\n
The second most common reason for getting the same error or unavailability of a file in the drive is the excessive download of that file. Google has strict policies against the abuse of files through its servers. Therefore, when a file is being downloaded by hundreds of users on the same day, it takes the file with such kind of data.<\/p>\n
To prevent the abuse issue, Google will restrict the file to be downloaded for the next 24 hours. The user will not be notified with any disclaimer or any other notification. But the process will be automated by Google in this case.<\/p>\n
Due to these reasons and a few others, you will get the error on your screen named download quota exceeded for this file. Now, you must be looking for the best solution to this problem. We have made this section just for you and keep you comfortable in all such conditions.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How To Solve The Download Quota Exceeded For This File Issue?<\/span><\/h2>\nWhether you are the owner of the file or want to share it with people, you will find the solution to the above problem here. You must pay focus to solve this problem and prevent any restriction by Google.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Being a Host of The File<\/span><\/h3>\nIf you are the host of the file and want to share it with other users without having any downloading problems, just follow the upcoming steps. Sometimes, you might have been heard by the people that your files are not downloading on their computers via Google drive.<\/p>\n
The reason is you might have shared the file with the \u201cAnyone\u201d option in the Get link section. When you are sharing a file or sharable link with anyone, you will be asked to customize the sharing. Sometimes, we just ignore it and set the Get link section to \u201cAnyone on the internet\u201d and copy the link to share it with anyone.<\/p>\n
Here is what you have to do for solving this problem.<\/p>\n
\n- Sign in to your Google Drive<\/li>\n
- Go to the particular file and open it<\/li>\n
- Click on the Share button available in the right corner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- Look down at the Get link section<\/li>\n
- Change the settings from Anyone to Restricted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
By doing this, you will be giving access to the person whom you are going to permit manually on requesting the access. If you want to share that file with a specific group of people, you only need to insert the emails of all such users and click on the Share button. It will then only restrict them from using your file and downloading without having an issue like the download quota exceeded for this file.<\/p>\n
