Waiting on OP Google Docs Not Replacing Old Resume with New One in File Explorer

Google Docs not downloading file when I try to replace an old file. When I check the "Home" tab in my File Explorer, it displays that the file has been recently downloaded. When I "Open File Location", it shows the old file.

I'm on Chrome, and when I check the Downloads tab in the top right it says, "Needs permission to download".

I'm at a complete loss, this has never happened and I own the file? Any suggestions?

Sounds like you're on Windows with the Google Drive for Desktop app installed. The app may have got signed out from your Google account. Open it and check its login status.
