Download Files Using URL with FileBrowser Professional

Download Files Directly from URLs into FileBrowser Professional

Download any file from the web. Copy the URL from another app such as Safari or Firefox and download the file directly to any location, your iOS device, computer or cloud account.

Using Safari, FireFox or Chrome on your iPad or iPhone find the link (URL) you want to download from.

Press and hold the link you want to download, and select "Copy Link" from this menu.

Open FileBrowser Professional go to the folder you want to copy the file to (in this case I will download it straight to my iMac in a Documents folder) tap the actions menu then tap "Download from URL".

The URL should automatically be pasted into the edit field. Then tap "Download".

And that's it. Your file has now been downloaded straight to your computer.
