"No file available for download" reasons
Overview
In some situations, exfiltrated file contents are not collected, resulting in no download link appearing in the Code42 console. This article lists possible error reasons and describes why these errors may occur.
Error codes
In the file event details, files that could not be collected display the message No file available for download. In some cases, a more specific reason is also included in parentheses (see example in the image below). The following table lists these possible reasons.
When you contact our Customer Champions for support, providing the specific error message helps with troubleshooting.
| Error message | Description |
|---|---|
| File not found | There was an error reading the file. This could be because the file was deleted, removable media was disconnected before the file could be collected, or a permission issue prevented Code42 from reading the file. In some cases, metadata such as the MD5 or SHA256 hash may be missing. |
| File too large | The file size is too large to be collected. |
| Cloud shortcut | The file was not collected because it is a shortcut (or "stub file") pointing to cloud storage. As a result, the actual file contents did not exist on the device. |
| Upload failed | The Code42 app collected the file, but was unable to upload it to the Code42 cloud. This could be because of an internal Code42 error or because of a problem with the device's authentication token. |
