My web browsers on XP no longer display Google Drive's web page properly.
They don't show the list of folders and files.

Instead there's a banner saying "A Place For All Your Files". See

This means file downloads from Google Drive are not possible.

Is there a browser on XP which shows this page properly?

I've tried:

Firefox v53
MyPal v29
Serpent/Basilisk v52.

Dear Pamela,
with regard to Internet by now XP is over. I still keep it for lazyness but
I realize my activity on Internet is hopeless. Every while something in
internet no longer works. Our field of action is increasingly restricted.
It would be time to bury our loved XP.

None of these browsers will load any current webpage in windows XP.

Try this one out. Download, is the portable version.
The empty profile.ini will be populated with a pointer
to a folder next to the profile.ini .

Presumably, that's like Firefox 52.9, at least partially.
The XUL.dll has a credit to Moonchild Productions. but the
build would be a fork.

| I can usually download files, but I don't remember the
details offhand. I don't enable script. When the page loads
it's just a number of URLs because it's really not a webpage.
It's a script-based software program. Many such things are
using script that's too noew for older browsers. Javascript
has gone "cutting edge". I find the same with the website
for my doctor. I have to use it on a newer computer. XP
is not the problem. It's the dropped support by browser
makers, combined with constantly changing web standards
and lack of backward compatibility from webmasters.

I think that sometimes one of the links I see is a URL to a file.
Or maybe sometimes I have to get it from the source code. I'm
sorry I can't be more helpful. I just don't deal with it very often.
Sometimes the links will work if you do something like replace
"edit" with "download".

Or you could just contact your friend, ask them to learn
how to use software and stop being a slave to a nasty spyware
company, and then send you the file in email. I live with a woman
who supervises college students and she has to do that. The kids
don't know Google Drive from C drive. She has to ask them to
save out the file and email it to her.
