iCloud Private Data Request will NOT Download.

iCloud private data request (Apple Notes) will not download.

I keep receiving an error when downloading it. The error is "Decompression Failure."

I've read through the forums here and I tried the Safari > Settings > Open "safe" files after downloading and no luck. When I uncheck that setting, the download appears to go through; however, the file still shows 0 bytes and when you try to open it, it says that the file is unrecognizable. When I checked that box back on, back to the same problem.


I have tried downloading via Safari, Safari on iOS, and MS Edge on my PC. All give an error upon downloading.

The only thing I haven't tried yet was to wait and try again later.


Has anyone had success in solving the issue? And if you did, how did you do it? Thanks!

iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26
