I was able to download a file (over 70GB when already uploaded as a zip file) with no problems 6 months ago but now it splits everything into multiple zip files? Why is this?
Google-drive – Can’t download large file from Google Drive as one single folder, always splits into multiple parts

Best Answer
You can also use Google's Takeout system for downloading one large folder from Google Drive. It allows up to 50GB .zip files.
Here are the main steps:
On Step 1: Select data to include deselect all except for Drive. Then click the "All Drive Selected" button![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8vbxw.png)
Uncheck "Include all files and folders in Drive", select the one folder you want. Then proceed to the next step![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/MvLci.png)
Under "File type & size" be sure to change the folder size to 50GB.![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/1Phzo.png)
