1. Select the File You Want to Download
Firstly, locate the file you want to download in Google Drive. Then, click on it once to select it. For example, if you want to download a PDF document named “Report.pdf,” click on “Report.pdf” to highlight it. This step ensures you are downloading only the specific file you need, without any other files being included.

3. Click Download Icon or Select “Download” from Menu
To download the file, click on the download icon (usually represented by a downward arrow) located at the top right corner of the window. Alternatively, you can click on the “File” menu in the top left corner and select “Download” from the dropdown menu. This option will directly download “Report.pdf” to your computer without zipping. Ensure your download settings are configured correctly to save the file in your desired location.
4. Verify Download in Your Computer’s Download Folder
After downloading, check your computer’s download folder to ensure the file has been downloaded correctly.
Finally, open the “Downloads” folder and look for “Report.pdf.” Open the file to verify its content and make sure it has been downloaded without any issues. This final step ensures you have successfully downloaded the file without zipping.
