I'm confused. I'm downloading the file using navigateToURL() that points to a java servlet to download the file. The user sees the browser open a popup window to either save the file to a specific folder or choose a program to open it (in which case the default seems to be to save the file in the Download folder, on a mac at least). Is there something additional I should do that uses File.documentsDirectory or File.applicationStorageDirectory? If so, can you walk me through it?

Actually, I would think File.applicationStorageDirectory would work best. Especially with the new Apple sand boxing. -Sean Thayne On Tue, Apr 22, 2014 at 11:47 AM, Lee Burrows <[email protected]>wrote: > I would guess that saving to File.documentsDirectory offers best chance of > avoiding any enterprise security restrictions > > > On 22/04/2014 18:35, [email protected] wrote: > >> Thanks Sean.
