I'm not doing anything special. By the way it also happens in InPrivate mode. HotCakeX I have not been able to repro this, and it's really frustrating.
Typically, what we see is that google will change a library somewhere internally that has a hard-coded string for UA string checking; when we find we are being blocked, we ping someone over there and they fix it. Okay so looking at the flags I have enabled, I noticed I had one that had "user agent" in its title, I turned it off and the problem was solved. Set the User-Agent request header to a static string that conforms to the current User-Agent string format but only reveals desktop vs Android and if the 'mobile' flag is set — Mac, Windows.
User Agents are getting deprecated, they can't be completely removed considering the amount of problems it will cause for older legacy websites. Thanks for the response, now I get why Google drive was thinking my browser wasn't up to date, because the UA was frozen using that flag and stuck at an older version of Edge canary.
Well it should not have much of an advantage or benefit, UA is soft-deprecated i. About privacy, It indeed supplies less information Exact version of your browser for example to websites, although even lower could be achieved by modifying the user agent to something other than the browser you are using that is still supported, like chrome's default UA.
UA checking and blocking users in general is not the best practice, simply displaying a warning should be enough for most cases. HotCakeX I'm glad you noticed that you enabled that flag. I've logged a bug internally because I think locking our UA string to v 75 may be a little too old. Either we should rev it until we actually decide to lock it, or we should do a test pass with 75 enabled to see what else is broken. Good news is that you've been running with it for a couple weeks and only noticed this one site, so that's actually pretty promising.
Yeah, well now that you've said that, I think i will turn it on again to produce more data and find out which other websites are broken and will report them using feedback on Edge.

To enable cookies, open drive. Click on the tiny lock icon present on the left side of the address bar.
Then, select Cookies from the list. In the pop-up window that appears, click on the Blocked tab. Check if you find any link related to Google. Click on that and hit the Allow button at the bottom. Finally, click on Done. Restart the page or the browser, and you should be able to download the files again. When someone sends you a Google Drive link to download files, you need to be signed in with the same account allowed to access those files.
Basically, Google Drive file sharing permissions works in two ways. The owner who generates a link for the file or the folder can let anyone with the link access the file. In that case, any Google account can be used to view or download files.
But the owner can also restrict the files to a select few users only based on their email address. In such cases, you need to switch your Google account to the right one. If you are a Google Chrome user, you can sign into multiple Google accounts.
However, one of them is used as a default account. That account is also used for the Google Chrome sync feature. Whenever you receive a Google Drive link accessible from a different account, you need to switch to that account.
To do so, open drive. You will be signed in with the default account. Click on the profile picture at the top-right corner of the Drive screen. Your Google accounts will show up. Click on the one that you want to switch to.
A new window will open where you are logged in with your second Google account. If you close the window and open the Google Drive website again, you will be logged in with the default account. Repeat the steps to switch the Google account in Drive. Then try to download files with only one account registered in Chrome. Do you use ad blocker extensions on your browser? Disable any ad blocker or recently downloaded third-party extensions. That should fix the issue.
Similarly, if you are using an antivirus on your computer, disable it temporarily. See if you can download files from Google Drive. Sometimes, the issue is with a particular browser only. First, update the browser. While this is not a proper fix, use this method as a workaround if nothing else lets you download Google Drive files. Basically, when someone sends a Google Drive link to you, copy it and paste it in your browser's incognito mode. To open incognito mode in Chrome, click on the three-dot icon at the top-right corner.
Select the New Incognito window. Paste the link in the new window that opens. The same workaround can be used to download your own Google Drive files or folders as well. Right-click on the file that you want to download. Select Share from the menu. Then copy the link and paste it in the incognito window and download the files. If nothing works, you should download the Google Drive Backup and sync app. It is available for both Windows and Mac.
