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.
