Allow Multiple downloads in Edge

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

Hi. I have a number of flows that log in to a web backend to run and download reports. As the access to the backedn needs to authenticate, I prefer to log in, run a report, download the results, then run next report and download those result. When the second download is commenced, Edge pops up a window asking if I want to allow or block multiple downloads. The popup only stays alive for a few seconds and then seems to automatically choose block. 

I have tried to use the advanced options in the click download step to say that if a popup appears click "allow" but it doesnt work. 

 

It seems impossible to capture the UI as I have to click the download link and then capture the popup allow option within two seconds. Unless I can find a way to do this, it seems I have to add steps to log out of backend, close it, re-open it and log back in again.

 

Has anyone come up with a way to set Edge to allow multiple downloads ? 

I have the same question (1)

    Hi @JGIT 

     

    Have you also configured the Edge settings for multiple file downloads?

    Its under Site permissions -> Automatic downloads

    If the first option button is not working for you then also consider adding your website to the list of "Allowed" sites

    I'm sure that would work fine but when I add sites to the Allow list and then restart Edge, they have been removed from the list again. Ive reinstalled edge and followed various online guides but cannot "save" allowed sites.

    Hi @JGIT 

    In that case we need to see i. whether there is bug in Edge that removes the saved sites after restarting Edge Or ii. your organisation is doing it for some kind of security measures.

    Can you do something to check with your IT to get rid of reason No ii. ?

    Have you checked if you are able to bypass the browser by using the Download from web action? Might be worth a shot 🙂

    A belated thank you to everyone who pitched in ideas. The issue was actually caused by another edge setting under "Privacy, Search and Services" which was ticked that cleared the site settings when Edge was closed. See image. Once that setting was cleared, Edge retained the site permissions that allowed multiple downloads from the specific URL's.
