- By default, Netflix saves all downloaded videos on the same drive where it’s installed.
- Thankfully, you can change the Netflix Download location easily by using Windows Settings.
- However, do note that you can only select a different drive for download and not any sub-folders within that drive.
How to Change Netflix Download Location on Windows
Step 1: On your Windows PC, press the Windows + I keys together to open Settings . Next, navigate to Apps > Installed Apps .
Step 2 : Search for Netflix in the list of apps. Then, click on the three-dot icon next to it.
Step 3 : In the list of options, select Move .
Step 4 : Now, select the location where you want to move the Netflix files. In my case, I chose to go with a removable USB drive. Once you’ve made your selection, click on Move again.
Note : Make sure the new location has enough free space.
Step 5 : And that’s it. Depending on the number of downloads that you already have on your system, this process can take some time, and until then you won’t be able to use Netflix.
Unfortunately, no. You can not select a specific sub-folder in the new drive. The folders will be created in the root by default.
If you have picked an external hard drive or USB drive as the new location for the Netflix downloads, you must have the said device with you whenever you want to stream movies or TV shows. Without the device, Netflix will show a “Can’t open” error.
