Description

Describe your suggested feature

It is not really practical to download on devices like firesticks due to limited internal storage and no provision for external storage. Can the app be adapted to provide an option to set the download path to an NFS or SMB share?

Research direction

Start by locating the Android download and storage entry points and reviewing how destination paths are currently selected. Determine the scope required for NFS and SMB destinations, then define completion around successfully configuring and using a network-share download path on constrained devices.
