Note: it looked like the plugin was going to download a few of the files mentioned below. I even removed my comments and was going to admit it was all fine. But it was probably a temporary glitch that made the JDW try a few of them.
For example, this folder:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
Downloaded two of the files: Teaser trailer and TV Spot. The rest:
See for yourself: (note to admin/staff: print #2 is from JDW and #1 is from the folder JDW has just tried to download). You are seeing my own computer. Skipped - acc missing. Again.
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
This is so bizarre that I don't even know what to say. Now the bug can even download a bunch of files and ignore the rest.
Before it was ignoring everything from a folder!

I have so many free Google accounts here that you wouldn't believe me even if I told you.
And since you don't believe this is either a bug from the plugin (or the other way around, Google breaking JDW which was working 100% fine before), then I going to give you plenty of proof. It's not a problem for me to post here.
Because I am unable to mass download what I have spread over my free accounts (which I need right now, since I am doing a backup elsewhere precisely due to being tired of relying on Google, and there's a 2 year inactivity period before the contents are erased), then I need this fixed ASAP otherwise I can't download manually so many files.
This is a lot more pressing for me to fix than anyone in this forum.
I can't believe Google deliberately chose some files/folders or accounts to mess with.
Below it's my proof. Try there, and if you say you can download the entire folders (not individual files), then the problem is on my side. If it's on my side I am going to reconfigure everything from scratch.
This is what I need you to check, if possible.
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
Try to download this folder (which is not new, because it's from a 2017 account with 2017 files).
Still the same error: SKIPPED - ACCOUNT MISSING. Not a single file JDW is picking.
Reason? None! This folder isn't different from any other. It's not private AT ALL.
Another:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
2017 files. Also using resourcekey. Can't download.
Even older: from 2016:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
Same thing.
Two more, from 2016:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
And
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
From 2018:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

If 6+ examples aren't enough, ask me for 12. I have records of all these accounts and ALL (100%) they have stored.

For me it was working. Now it isn't. I can't tell since when it broke. Only that it did. For sure.

No, you can't. Because you said:

If it was or if it was related to the content + account you're trying to download with, it would work with another IP/account/file.

Listen, there are two types of Google Drive links.
a) Using resourcekey and OLDER. It seems Google added this only to 2018 and previous years. Never saw 2019 and newer content with it.
and
b) New files without this added to them
And JDownloader can only pick b) and always tell me a) = SKIPPED = account missing.
Then what is the reason?
This is the first time ever I am seeing a plugin working 50%. The problem is, the 50% not working I need to mass download here and if this isn't fixed things are going to be difficult for me.

So let's discuss what can we do to identify what is preventing these downloads.
I can put any Google account there in the cookies area and still the examples I gave before cannot be downloaded.
I don't know why. You said yourself you were faced with a 403 error.
If that's the case then you know it's because the folders are old and they were randomly selected to have the resourcekey added.
Right now I gave you 6 new folders from 6 Google accounts.
I have so many accounts here that the number of examples would be huge. Proving my point entirely.
Do you want a second log, or perhaps that I put the account that owns one of these folders/files in the JDW account manager area?
Which is using the cookie thing?
Or perhaps a #2 account which #1 (the proprietary) shared the specific folder?
I believe I tried all of this and it doesn't matter which GD account is configured. The folders still cannot be downloaded.
My first guess was:
- The fact the files are old.
But in the past week I tried to download, just to give you an example, this folder:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
Did you notice one of the files is from 2022 (last modification date - this was the case because I replaced a subtitle track in it) and 7 others are dated 2017?
Still, I can download all the contents of it!
Amazing, isn't it?
No. Where's the resourcekey in it? It wasn't added.
That explains why the plugin can download.
Don't believe me? OK, more proof.
Folders I downloaded this week:
FOLDER #1 (from 2020). No resourcekey added.
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
FOLDER #2: (from 2020): Same.
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
FOLDER #3:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
FOLDER #4: (now we are going back to 2019).
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

I'm sorry but I won't be able to provide a solution for this right away but you can try some things.
As all of the URLs you tried to download are public and don't seem to be quote limited, you can try the following:
- Remove or disable all of your Google accounts in JD
- Change your IP and try again and/or try again using a VPN
Apart from that it's trial and error if you ask me...
And please don't get me wrong I'm not saying that your report is wrong but I can't reproduce it and so far you seem to be the only user who is having this issue.

Changing the IP is not going to work. This isn't some sort of IP restriction from Google, my IP is dynamic and Google allows me to download as much as I want. Today I must have downloaded over 300 GB of data.
There's no quota in place. The download doesn't even start if met with the two conditions: resourcekey and being 2018 or older.
That's a fact. I can't escape from this.
Another with resourcekey, and older:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
Can't download.
Now look what happens with this one:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
ALL FILES CAN BE DOWNLOADED! So I was wrong, right?
Not at all. The files are from 2020. And the subfolder has 2015 last modification date FILES which JDW can still download.
So is this an exception? Probably not.
It may be the case that JDW can download this last one because somehow anything present there is being considered to be from 2020 onwards. That's why JDW downloads the whole thing!
The account for this last link was created in April 2017. Even the account creation date I can tell you based on my records.
*******
Here's what I am going to do (and once I finish I'll make a new post here):
Uninstall everything and reconfigure JDW from scratch. Best way to clean any mess (if present, like a virus, 100% erased if we format the hard drive).
If the same errors are still present then you'll have to admit the plugin just broke.
This time I am not going to use any JDW backup file. Everything will be 100% reconfigured manually. Including the added Google Drive account.
I am sorry if it seems I am arguing here or implying you aren't telling the truth. It's just that being unable to download a lot of my stuff is awful.
