The Download Quota Error (Patreon)
Content
For those of you who get the "download quota for this file has been exceeded" error:
This is an error on Google's side of things and not something that I can do anything about.
It will reset every 24 hours.
Here are a few recommended workarounds:
- Download only the file/folder you need now. If the file you're looking for is in a folder just download the folder.
- Don't download the entire drive or entire big book folders in one go.
- If you want to download everything, spread the process out over several days or so. Files aren't going away.
Those of you using APIs or one of the various means of synchronizing the drive with your computer, please set it to no more often than once per week, preferably at an hour outside afternoon for the US or Europe.
I understand what you're doing is convenient to you but its harming everyone else. I'd ask that you please stop this, but in the end this is up to you. Take care and I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused
