A 403 error when downloading from Google Photos could be due to several reasons: the file might have been deleted by the owner, your sharing permissions might have been revoked, or Google might be temporarily limiting access due to high download activity. Try again later, and if the problem persists, contact the person who shared the file with you to verify your access.
