How can I automatically download and open a file from Weever?

Set up automatic file downloads in your Safari, Chrome or Edge browser in Weever.

Instead of having your browser open downloaded Weever files, you can now have them automatically show up in your device downloads and open in a local application.

For these examples we will download a CSV file from the Action Tracker page.

The methods can be applied to any type of downloadable file from Weever.

Sections:


Safari (iPad and iPhone)

Once the 'Download All' Screenshot 2022-12-14 at 10.56.21 AM button is tapped and the Success message appears, you will be prompted by an on screen message to either Open or Download the file.

Select 'Download' and the file will be downloaded to the device's download folder. To view the file select the download icon next to the browser search bar. Then click on the file you want to view and it will open directly on the device.

Download in Safari


Google Chrome 

Tap the 'Download All' Screenshot 2022-12-14 at 10.56.21 AM button, then the Recent Download History button. Right click on the file you dowloaded and choose the "Always Open Files of this Type".  

Download in Chrome v2


Microsoft Edge

There are a couple settings that need to be turned off first in order for Edge to bypass browser viewing. These settings will be applied to all file types moving forward.

STEP 1:

When you have your browser open, click the three dot icon at the top right. Select the Screenshot 2022-12-14 at 11.36.24 AM option from the menu. On the Settings page, select  Screenshot 2022-12-14 at 11.34.17 AM  from the left side menu. Toggle "Open Office files in the browser" off.

STEP 2:

Back on the Action Tracker page, when the 'Download All' button is selected, a pop up window at the top right appears which will allow you to open the file directly within your local application used to view that type of file. It will also be saved to the download folder for the device.
