Google Drive - Where is the setting to enable Drive file downloads

[TwistedHelixis]

At one of my schools whenever a pupil (test pupil as we are just rolling things out) opens a doc in Drive there is no option to download the file in preview mode or when we right click on the doc, the only way is to open the doc using G Docs and then in the file menu is the download option. At my other school there is the option to download without actually needing to open the file.

 

I have looked in apps >drive>sharing settings, and nothing jumps out at me as needing to be changed.

There is an option when sharing a doc that "viewers" cannot download. You haven't set that by mistake have you?

When the user who has edit rights clicks "share" on the share card in an individual file, click the cog at the top right. It's under there.

Also, you can set those settings on a Shared drive, by shared drive basis.

No, this is on new files just created, even in root of drive.

hmmmm something else is going on, just refreshed the drive page and was then able to download as normal, then tried another doc and the download is missing, but its also missing on the doc that could just download.

 

Something glitchy must be going on, ill come back to this later
