While downloading getting errors (Failed - Network error) for selected zipped files from icloud

Hi, could you please help in fixing the following issue: I have 866 zipped photo files. Each file has zipped with 1gb size. All files I have downloaded successfully all zipped files except 5 files numbers 257, 259, 260, 262, 263. When download process (using google chrome and also tried firefox) reaches at 100% then it shows errors (Failed-Network error).


Thanks and regards,

Ranjit

Hey there ranjit9,


Great work! You're getting so close with 5 files left.


We'd suggest checking this out:

  1. Fix file download errors.
  2. If your iCloud Photos aren't loading on your PC 
  3. Test a different Wi-Fi connection
  4. Look for anti-virus or malware that might be interfering with the download


We've shared a couple of guides with you to see if they help out. These steps might help get this resolved for you so you can finish uploading the files.


Kind regards.

Hello ranjit9,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Let's walk through some steps that may help you download those remaining photo files from iCloud.


First, we want to clear up some details. Based on your description, are you trying to download these files from iCloud to a PC?

Is there a particular reason you have them as zip files?

Do you have access to another device you could test downloading those files?


If you are using a Windows PC, try using iCloud Photos to obtain those remaining photo files. There may not be a need for them to be a zip file. Here's how to set that up:


Set up and use iCloud Photos on your Windows PC


We look forward to hearing how it goes.


All the best.

Hello ranjit9,


Thank you for letting us know that other files are able to be downloaded successfully. To rule out any issues on the PC side of things, try the following steps:


  1. Check to see if you have any updates for your PC.
  2. Check that there is enough available storage to download the files to your PC.
  3. Check to see if you have the latest version of iCloud for Windows downloaded on your PC.


If none of those resolve the issue, you'll want to contact Apple Support: Get Support.


Take care.

Hello,

Please see below my answers/comments:


are you trying to download these files from iCloud to a PC?

[Ranjit] Yes, I am.


Is there a particular reason you have them as zip files?

[Ranjit] Becasue number of files are more than 400k. So, for me it is better to analyse them on my local PC connected with external large size storage (4TB).


Do you have access to another device you could test downloading those files?

[Ranjit] I have tested downloading proecess on other devices also and I face the same issue (Failed-Network Error). I have also tested downloading with Edge, Opera, FireFox and also incognito window in Chrome and same issue appears.


I have sucessfully downloaded 861 of 866. But I am facing this issue with zipped files no. 257,259,260,262,263. So, could you please help me to download these 5 zipped files successfully?


Best regards,

Ranjit
