Can't download and access local files in Microsoft Edge on Xbox Series S

Celeste_ow · Mar 12, 2022

Hello,

On Microsoft Edge, when trying to download something I get this error "Downloads are not supported on this device"

and when I try to access my files with Microsoft Edge I get this error "Local files cannot be accessed on this device"

I use Xbox Series S and would like any help to know how or if I can fix this.

Thank you.

:)

It's not possible to download anything from the Edge browser on the console.

Hello, gaelmadrid. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

There was an update for Xbox consoles last year that removed the ability to download files from the web browser. There is no workaround for this. I'm sorry and I hope you understand.

Feel free to ask back any questions.

Hi,

You can't delete the system files, they're not accessible to users. The two files on this screenshot are for the Microsoft Edge Browser.

Well are you on xbox one or series s/x then just use it

Bing isn't as good as Google

Keep in mind edge on console isn't a desktop browser it's sandboxed and has limits on what it can do

You can't download edge on your console it comes built.in
