Direct download vs open in browser

  • Hi, why is it that files that are uploaded with the “Drop file here / Select file” option directly download, but the ones uploaded with the library option open in browser?

    The option on settings to Open in browser is unchecked.

    I would like to select them from the media library and directly download them.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    When you attach files from media library as URL wpdm simply redirect to that URL when a user clicks on the download button, but when you upload a file directly or attach a file from server as server path, wpdm handles the download process and so there it can decide whether the file will open in browser or force download. So, if your file is already in the media library, and you want them to download instead of open in browser, please attach those files using the server file browser instead of the medial library file selector.
