    Hi Massimo,

    Python open does not close the file automatically, and I suspect it is why your file is getting corrupted.

    Try it like this:

    file_id = '1234'
    
    download_file = client.file(file_id).get()
    with open("/home/wsuser/work/" + download_file.name, 'wb') as transfer_file:
    download_file.download_to(transfer_file)

    The "with"statement will close the file once the download is done.
