Android has this feature built in. Users can set the default download location for files to the external SD card without any third-party apps or tweaks. Here is how you can set the external SD card as the default download location for your files: On your Android tablet or phone, tap the app drawer icon from the home screen. From the displayed list, tap on the My files icon. Even after all these years of being the most widely used mobile platform in the world, Android still remains a bit patchy when it comes to customizing download locations.
For smaller apps this should do the trick, but remember that larger apps like games or apps that store additional files like podcasts or recordings will automatically store those files in your internal storage.
So even if your podcast app is on your SD card, saving you 50MB or whatever, all those hundreds of MB of podcasts are still clogging up your device. Once your device is rooted, check out apps like FolderMount and Link2SD to easily move entire installed apps onto external storage. Thankfully, apps often contain their own download options internally, letting you save tons of space by moving big audio, video and picture files over to your SD card.
But if you want to dig deeper than that, then it makes a strong case for rooting your device taking into consideration all the risks that entails, of course. By signing up, you agree to our Privacy Policy and European users agree to the data transfer policy. Content Manager at Make Tech Easier.

Does anybody have an idea about changing the default download location in android? Or do you guys know how can I write an Android application which asks the user download location sd card or usb memory?
If you mean downloading from a link in the browser it is up to the browser to set the folder the files are stored in. I am not sure if you can change this in the browser settings or not. But there is nothing stopping you or anyone from making your own browser application that uses a different folder by default, or even asks the user to set their own choice of download folder.
Type about:config go to this address and go past the prompt, change the value of browser. Havent tried this yet im using beta app. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.
