Help with saving data

Is there any way I can download only those files that are not on spotify and leave the others for streaming? Basically, i want to stream all my songs available on spotify and leave songs that are only local files--and not spotify files--as available offline. Thanks

The way I do this:

1: Go into the desktop app

2: Make a playlist and title it "Local Files"

3: In the left sidebar under "Your Music" click on "Local Files"

4: CTR + A to select all of them and then right click and select "add to" and add them to the "Local FIles" playlist you created

5: Open the "Local Files" playlist you created on your phone and find the "Available Offline" toggle at the top of the playlist and switch it to on

Then every time you add a local file, make sure it's also inside of this playlist.

Hopefully this helps. This is what I have done to make sure my local files get downloaded to my phone properly.
