I have also had this issue. I have tried multiple browsers, different logins. It’s the same whether using the SSH browser window or the gcloud shell. I haven’t found any answers to it either. Really need a fix for this!

Hi.

We have the same issue, for around 3 days, we tried multiple times and from different browsers and machines, but couldn’t download any file from the VM.

Same here! Tried different ways and different times, either one worked. Is there a workaround for this?

Just use the following command

gcloud compute scp @:~/path/to/file/in/compute /your/local/path
