You can, but if you're not thinking about it... also on Mac the default when you double-click a ZIP is to extract it in the same folder.
User error but linked tot he fact syncing isn't what I want here, just downloading/uploading large files to Drive

I sometimes get the issue on Google Drive on Safari where there's too many redirects.
Safari security says if a web page is trying to do multiple redirects, it's probably not safe.
Google Drive says you must have one url that redirects about 10 times to get to the actual file location.
Why does Google Drive insist on all the redirects? (there is a workaround involving deleting google cache every so often, or installing Chrome which thinks dangerous redirects are acceptable)

why would a browser work any better on a windoze platform? - or unix/linux?
In any case, it's always worth checking on another computer to figure out where the issue lies - that way you can target where you need to fix. Basic troubleshooting.
Is the problem the OS?
Is the problem the broswer?
Is the problem Google Drive?
Does the problem lie between keyboard and chair?

Can anyone suggest a reliable option or various options for this? I'd expected Chrome to support resuming part/failed downloads but whether it should not not, it doesn't in this case!

You can do this selectively (not individual files, but on a folder by folder basis I think) if you want.
The application effectively uses the Google Drive API so will work far better for large files than trying to do it via a browser.

Back in the day of dialup and 2 hour max sessions, getright was the dog's wotsits.
Though, judging by the site, it doesn't know anything newer than Win7.
Ah.

Downloading large Google Drive files with Chrome: failed due to network error
I have 2 15GB files to download from google-drive. When I try from Chrome (Mac) they keep failing due to "network error" - no idea if my internet is momentarily dropping or it's some other issue but Chrome isn't able to resume and starts the entire download each time!
