MBSki 1114 Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 I set my download location to an external SD card, but I don't see an option for the public downloads folder on the SD card. I have an option for "External storage (Download)", but that's actually my internal storage. Is there a way to get Emby to save to a public downloads folder on the SD card? I looked for a way to change the default downloads folder on Android, but I couldn't find one.
Luke 42077 Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 The options available are all of the places where the app is granted write access to.

Luke 42077 Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 No. The app is using android api's that tell it the designated folders that it's able to write to. So for example, if you have netflix and configure the download location for that, it should present the same choices.

Using the SD card, I can't get to the files when on my phone. The only way I can get to the files is if I connect to my PC. Really weird that I can't see it on my phone.
