gdown not responding well...

[MonoDin0]

for some reason I am getting an error saying the google drive is not accessed...

then gave me the error code that freaked me out.

Access denied with the following error: cannot retrieve files, you need to add 'Anyone to the link' to access it.

when i check on the link, it's working properly to download the file.

huh, so it looks like your running version 4.2.0 (ngl this is a first).

what you need to do is update the package. keeping the command prompt open, do py -m pip install gdown --upgrade and you will get the latest release!

[MonoDin0]

yay! it works!

[hanselch]

perfect! need to add a note to program to get a specific version...
