Issue to download .zip file from drive

A cloud storage service's primary function, like OneDrive , is to keep all files in sync across devices. While it comes so tightly knit in Windows, it's unlikely to not use it for taking even the basic backups.

That said, some Windows 10 users are struggling to download files from OneDrive. What good is a cloud storage service when you can't download and access files when needed?

Storing all files locally also leads to storage issues. Cloud storage saves space and makes online collaboration easier and fun. Other users reported that files begin to download from OneDrive, but then, the process is terminated midway. That's even more frustrating, especially if you are downloading a big file. This is more like a temporary fix that will allow you to access that all-important file quickly. Troubleshooting can be time-consuming, not to mention frustrating. Use a desktop computer or your smartphone to download the file.

Added support for ZIP files with disks set to 0. Such files are commonly created by builtin tools on Windows when use ZIP64 extension.

So could this be the vital clue we need to solve this little file format mystery? Re-running my Python test script with the latest version of the zipfile module did not result in any reported errors, so this looked hopeful for a start.

The modified ZIP file passed all these tests without any problems! The contents of the file could be extracted normally, and the extraction is also complete.

If a widely-used platform by a major vendor such as Microsoft produces ZIP archives with major interoperability issues, I would expect others to have run into this before.

Hello I have OneDrive synchronized on my Mac computer and all files that are shared to me has been synced normally, until now. I have received some. ZIP files and the rest of my documents that are in line for synchronizations doesn't come through. I see them if I log into my online Office account, but not in my local folder on my Mac.
