Dear guys
Before I start with my project I need to ask if thunkable is able to perform these two functions which my app will require.
1. Can I be able to change the download path. Usually all downloads will go to the “download” folder in the phone. I need to change the download destination to the “App manager”. Can this be achieved?
2. when the user downloads, I need it to be able to download 3 files simultaneously. Not zip format. Can this be achieved?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you. Regards

I’m pretty sure none of that can be done.

Thunkable does not natively support downloading files.
You _might_ be able to do it using the web viewer and/or buidling your own server-side processing. Here are 2 discussion topics that could get you started.
- [Read Text Files Directly into Thunkable](http://community.thunkable.com/t/read-text-files-directly-into-thunkable/1042037)
- [Create Your Own Web API Service Using Firebase Functions and NodeJS!](http://community.thunkable.com/t/create-your-own-web-api-service-using-firebase-functions-and-nodejs/1040762)
Keep in mind that this is beyond what Thunkable can do and will require some heavy coding.
