Can't download some files off of Google Drive due to they being "identified as malware or spam"

#1 Post by pcislocked » 2022-07-06 21:08

I am using filezilla pro to download some files off my own google drive. but I can't download some files from it, and it gives this kind of error;
Command: GET /drive/v3/files/1*************************v?alt=media HTTP/1.1
Command: Authorization: ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Response: This file has been identified as malware or spam and cannot be downloaded.
Error: File transfer failed
So I googled a bit and it seems like this issue is due to API implemention of filezilla not including a

Code: Select all

acknowledgeAbuse=true
argument in the request, according to this github issue for something unrelated.

So, anything to fix this other than downloading them manually, because there's a lot of them? or maybe some update?

If the file isn't malware or spam, then you must report this false-positive to Google.

That's not something I can viably do for tons of files at bulk. There's an option to accept that warning and still download the file in the API. I was asking whether there was a way to put that flag on filezilla's request, I couldn't find. You should consider implementing it, sounds rather not complex(ask the user each time when that specific error raises or sth) but you judge.

I used the browser for this time though, thanks for replying.
