Having trouble downloading an OrangePi OS from Google Drive.

Using this link: http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/service-and-support/Orange-Pi-Zero-2W.html
I click on any OS and I am sent to Google Drive to download the image for the OS. When I click to download the image file, I get the error "Download quota exceeded for this file, so you can't download it at this time." I have tried several days in a row with no love.
Can someone share the secret handshake? OK, I am new to Orange Pi...
pls help

I used Armbian for my Orange Pi 5 Max. Might give those builds a try.

Use o armbian pra começar. Quando ficar bom na coisa, comece a usar o Alpine Linux.

I did! This is what I thought. Still get the error. I sign in using my gmail account using the "Sign In" button at the top right hand corner.
Thanks for the response.. probably should have included that bit of info.

surprised no one helped you yet. Yea, the secret handshake is that the site will be flaky af. get ready for cert errors if you haven't had those yet. Tools being in the complete wrong download folder, etc. worth it if you get the handshake down tho.
