Copy file download links

Can you support this feature? Copy URLs of downloaded files

SanityAgathion

Good afternoon,

I would like to be able to access URLs of files I download, in order to share them. I have Vivaldi as default browser on Android, and when I open link from other app (mostly Discord or other platforms), it opens URL and immediately downloads it, but leaving address bar empty and download running in background.

On desktop Vivaldi, I am able to look at downloaded files in sidebar, and see where they were downloaded form, and copy the URL. This is not possible to do on Android. Only options are Share, Rename, and Delete. No option to view source URL.

Any chance I am able to get to the actual URL of downloaded file, and be able to copy the link? What should I set for URL to stay in tab for me to copy text, and not immediately disappear to Downloads? I would like to avoid convoluted solutions of downloading files, go through Share menu, then generating new URL etc. when I could just copy URL and send link to whoever needs it once it's already publicly shared somewhere.

I couldn't agree more - another basic and simple but very useful feature, that is missing in Vivaldi for Android.

What is the status of this basic but effective feature to be consistent with the desktop version?

I agree. Why not have a right click (copy link, I mean the equivalent in Android, press and hold menu, etc) option on the entries in the download section? I know some links may be valid for a single download only (and other would be POST request links), and it's fine that they don't work, but most links would still work.

Imho, I would prefer a service page in android/browser with a detailed log of all downloads. Date/time, URL... etc

Perhaps this service page already exists, but we just don't know about it? If so, please let us know.

upd. Hint: if you have root, you can find all your URLs for downloaded files in the database stored in the History file. To view it, you need a database program. On android, you can use the database editor built into MiXplorer file manager.
Be careful, this file is best viewed as a backup and not in your browser's internal folder.

Hi, check chrome://download-internals.

@mib2berlin
well. But... It's empty. There's no list of downloaded files.

@mib2berlin Save this internal link chrome://download-internals/ to a bookmark and press "Edit" to make Vivaldi Stable 6.9.3451.114 and Snapshot 7.0.3505.3 crash immediately
