Hello,

On PC, I am able to change the download default path to show a folder OneDriver.

On Android Smartphone, maybe the path could be modify in about:config ( even if I don't find it ) , but the OneDrive local folder is not allowed by Android security.

Could you allow Firefox to connect at OneDrive ? and chose a cloud path for the default download location ?

Moving this to Fenix > General component to allow our engineers to examine it more closely. If this is not the right component, please move it to a more appropriate one. Thanks!

Hey FredM, thanks for submitting this issue.

If I understand correctly, you would like to be able:
1 - to change the download folder directory
2 - to select your OneDrive local folder as a your download directory

Is it correct?

If yes, then (1) is already tracked on Bug 1812815.

This bug could then track the second feature request (selecting OneDrive local folder as the default download path)

Yes and no,

On firefox windows, the Onedrive path local is accessible from the Explorer and yes, I am able to change the default folder to it.
(or maybe I did it automatically with Windows : on the folder Downloads-> Priorities -> Location and change the local path of a OneDrive )

On firefox smartphone android, I guess there is no Onedrive path local accessible for the "files explorer" without using an apps as One Drive directly. The best way would be to have a mecanism in firefox to do the authentication to OneDrive and set the "download network folder" instead Onedrive path.
