Gdown stops working after first few files #391

I'm using Gdown to download several large (>15GB) files from a public Google Drive folder. The first two files work fine, afterwards I get this message:

'''
Failed to retrieve file url:

    Cannot retrieve the public link of the file. You may need to change
    the permission to 'Anyone with the link', or have had many accesses.
    Check FAQ in https://github.com/wkentaro/gdown?tab=readme-ov-file#faq.

You may still be able to access the file from the browser:

    https://drive.google.com/uc?id=[...]

but Gdown can't. Please check connections and permissions.
'''

I checked the file permissions and it says that everybody with the link has editing rights. I don't think the data have been downloaded by many people (these files are for a collaborative research project with just 3 partners). Is there a way to solve this?
