Sorry to see that you are still having problems. Does this always happen for you? Or does it just happen for this particular project? That you are not able to use git clone is also surprising. Does your DevTools Console show any errors when you try to download the zip or run git clone? ---

Git does (afaik) require you to specify a message as part of each commit. This does bring up a good point around whether we can do more to make that more obvious. Regarding the failed download, do file a bug here: [issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=1379083&template=1836320](http://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=1379083&template=1836320) We’ll make sure it gets looked at. ---

I think that my laptop’s network restrictions is blocking the link. ---

Hi, thanks for bringing up the issue. I’m not able to repro it on my end. Can you tell me more about how large is the folder you are downloading? Just to confirm: can you try the `app` folder in the angular template and see if it works? Also you are using the `Zip and Download` command, right? ---

I just did `zip -rT app.zip .` from project root, you can pass different options as you see fit (don’t omit `-r` though). Then I downloaded the resultant zip file with the GUI. Granted, you get a zip within a zip but at least you get the project! This [stackoverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/11304926/13788147) may also be useful. ---

### How to Fix the File Download Issue in Project IDX on Google Cloud Workstations If you’re facing an issue where the **download button** in **Project IDX** doesn’t work (files don’t download to your PC), it’s likely caused by **cross-origin restrictions** related to how the editor is hosted in an iframe within Google Cloud Workstations. When you try to download a file from Project IDX, you might see this error in the browser console: ```auto WARN SecurityError: Failed to execute 'showDirectoryPicker' on 'Window': Cross-origin subframes aren't allowed to show a file picker. at j.i (workbench.web.main.js:2386:161902) at async j.h (workbench.web.main.js:2386:161621) ``` This issue occurs because the **IDX editor** runs inside an iframe, and browser security policies prevent the file picker or download functionality from operating in **cross-origin frames**. * * * ### The Problem 1. **IDX Editor Hosted in an iframe** : The IDX editor runs in an iframe in Google Cloud Workstations. The iframe URL is something like: 2.Open the url in the iframe and download the file/folder!

So far I have tried the classic ‘clear browsing data and restart’ to no effect. I can also confirm the error on two separate machines. I’d say the evidence is pretty strong it’s not user error. Hopefully we will have a fix soon!
