Yandex.Browser is not only a means for displaying sites, but also a tool for downloading files from the network to a computer. Today we will analyze the main reasons why Yandex.Browser does not download files.
Causes of the impossibility Download files from Yandex.Bauser to computer
The lack of downloading information from Yandex can affect the most different factors.Cause 1: Lack of hard disk space
Perhaps the most common reason for which the file cannot be saved to the computer.
Open Windows Explorer in the "This Computer" section, and then check the state of the disks: if they are highlighted in red, then you have a strong lack of free space.
In this case, you have two options out of the situation: or save files to a free local disk, or release a place on the current disk so that it is enough to download the file.

Cause 2: Low network speed
Next, you need to make sure that the speed of your network is enough so that the file is loaded to the computer.Notice also that if your Internet connection works with interruptions, the download will be interrupted, but the browser will not be able to resume it. In addition, the download problems will be observed not only in Yandex, but also in any other web browser on the computer.

If you suspect that the inability to upload a file to a computer affects the "bad" Internet, if possible, connect to another network to confirm or disprove this guess. If when connected to another network, the file has been loaded successfully, then you need to take care of improving or changing the Internet connection.
Cause 3: Lack of a given folder for downloading files
By default, a standard "Download" folder is installed in Yandex.Browser to download files, but as a result of a web browser or user actions, the folder can be replaced, for example, to a non-existent, because of which the file loads and cannot be executed .
- Click in the upper right corner along the menu button and go to the "Settings" section.
- Go down to the end of the window and click on the "Display Advanced Settings" button.
- Find the "downloaded files" block and in the "Save to" column, try to put a different folder, for example, a standard "download" ("downloads"), which in most cases has the following type of address:
- Close the settings window and try to resume the attempt to download data to the computer.
C: \ Users \ [username] \ downloads
Cause 4: Damage to the profile folder
All the information about the browser is saved on the computer in a special profile folder. This folder stores information about custom settings, stories, cache, cookies and other information. If for any reason the profile folder was damaged, this may lead to the fact that you will not be able to upload files from the web browser.
In this case, the solution can serve the deletion of the current profile.
Please note the removal of the profile will erase the entire user information saved in the browser. If you do not activate data synchronization, we recommend it to configure that all information is irretrievably lost.
