Hello all,

I want to download data from https://www.gstatic.com/covid19/mobility/Global_Mobility_Report.csv. However the data is more than the maximum limit to download tool. I receive an error message: Error String size limit reached: Strings are limited to 2147483648 bytes.

Does any one know how to download the data faster?

 

Thank you very much.

Hi @Begin_22 

 

Use a dynamic input tool - here's an example downloading a csv from yahoo finance.

😀The dynamic tool works to read data. When I try to  save the workflow in gallery, but it shows error that it can't find the temp file. How to go around with that?

@Begin_22 It will probably give you an error when you save it up to the gallery, but if you actually run the workflow from the gallery it should work just fine.
