Downloads Directory
Android requires permission to allow downloading to the device public downloads directory. Otherwise, downloaded files will only be accessible within the app.
Overview
This setting allows you to select the download directory for downloads initiated by your app. By default, all downloads are stored in the app's internal cache directory.
If you want to store files in the 'System downloads folder' instead, you will also need to select an option to support devices running Android 11 or earlier.
Option 1 - Fallback to temporary storage
Selecting this option will store files in the app's internal cache directory without prompting the user to grant permission to store the files.
Option 2 - Request user permission for external storage
Selecting this option will prompt the user to grant permissions to store the files in the system downloads folder.
