Download to SD card does not work
-
I set the SD card as download location but nothing downloads. I change it to internal storage and it downloads files fine this way.
However I really want downloads to save to the SD card

This is android 11 problem. Before upgrade to 11 this download to sdcard was working just fine. After upgrade the download to sd card does not work anymore.
Samsung S20 Ultra.

@666jones I can confirm this problem also! I am using Samsung Galaxy A6 and android 10.

@mrkukov The problem is related to the wonderful Scoped Storage, another great feature implemented in Android 11 by big G for the happiness of all the world Android users.

Anyway, as a temporary workaround you can try to do this few steps:- download the file in external sd-card, as you wish
- go to download panel inside Vivaldi e long-press upon the file you have just download
- Share it somewhere and grab it from there, in should work. For example, if you have Telegram then share to you're personal Saved Messages chat and open it. Once you open the file you're already done to save it where you want.

@marko-indaco Actually you don't need any workarounds anymore.
Download to SD-card has been fixed and is working just fine now.
