Hey @Legopitstop! 🌟

Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the late reply!

This is happening because of the mapped drive you're using for download storage — and yep, that’s expected behavior. Right now, it’s not possible to use a mapped drive. We recommend choosing a storage folder that’s on the actual device itself, rather than a third-party device or network.


Hope this clears things up!
