Hi @kangaroo72! Thanks for opening the issue. I might have misunderstood the description, but the .apk file appears to be downloaded and is visible in the Downloads folder in your video. Could you clarify the bug you're reporting and steps to reproduce it?

Hi @nalcalag. At the end of the video, you will see that the file is disappearing without any command from my side. It will be deleted automatically. When I start the download with Chrome, the file remains in the folder....
Hope this helps.
As mentioned, any APK-File is affected.
Best regards

@kangaroo72 A couple of questions:
1/ Is the name and location of the downloaded file the same when you download the APK using Chrome compared to when using DuckDuckGo?
2/ Have you enabled Samsung Storage Booster and defined any rules for storage cleanup?
