Download forbidden?

[GreezyJeezy]

so before i reinstalled windows and wiped my HDD i uploaded all my needed files to google drive, and i just tried to download my OBS config from my own google drive ad it says download forbidden in the download bar on the bottom of the screen, anyone know how to fix this?

 

and i just noticed its trying to download like a .htm file instead of the file itself. i right clicked the file and choose download from the pop up menu so i know i picked to download the file and not anything else. i tried to download other stuff in my google drive and it tried to download the same file and not the thing i am actually trying to download. 

 

here is a pic. you can see it's not the file it's something else it's trying to download

If you google this problem , you find that clearing cache/cookies or using another browser are possible solutions. 
If it were me, I'd download the drive for desktop app, get my files back, and than run away again from drive as hard as possible.

Couple things could cause it, so rather than baby step though this you might want to try these first

i did the reset chrome settings and the fixed it. i did google the problem first but all i got was posts saying stuff like oh the file must be owned by someone else so thats why that happens. so thats why i said it was my file that i uploaded in my OP

You might accidentally be downloading the web page instead of the file you're actually trying to download, since it's getting a .htm file. Try selecting the file in Drive, then in the menu with the 3 dots, select download, and see what happens.

 

When you right clicked, did you get the drive-styled context menu or the windows-styled?
