Change UC Android Web Browser Download Folder Location & Settings

• First, start UC Browser on your Android smartphone.

• A menu will appear on the screen; tap on Settings (Gear icon).

• In the settings scroll-down list, tap on the “Download Settings” option.

• Now, here you can change the Default download path, Max Download Tasks at a time, New Task, Auto Reconnect, and Notification-related settings.

(a) Default Path: With this option, you can change the file download folder/location. To make this change, click on the Default Path option.

By default, all files are downloaded in the SD card >> UCDownloads folder. Here you can select a different folder. Choose a new folder/location and tap on the OK button to save the new folder/location.

(b) Max Downloads: Here you can set how many files you want to download at a time. By default, it is set to 3, so you can choose this setting yourself.

(c) New Task: You can set the file download permission here between Always Ask and Download Directly. By default, it is set to Always Ask. So, when you start a download, it will ask you for permission. If you set up direct download, it will begin downloading files directly without any permission.

(d) Auto Reconnect- If the network connection is lost during file download and this option is turned on, it will automatically reconnect.

(e) Notification: If this option is turned on, a file download notification will appear on the notification bar. If this option is turned off, all files will be downloaded in the background.
