Hello all,
I have an issue with downloading files via Brave on IpadOS.
I start the download and everything seems normal. When the download is finished there is no file in the download folder. There’s also no download button available which’s an indicator for a successful download. I have to download the file several times until it really appears in my download folder. In the screenshot below you can see that the files seem to be downloaded but they aren’t fully downloaded.
Brave Browser version numbers: latest
iPadOS version numbers: 17, 18 and 26
Do you have a solution for this issue?
Thanks in advance
Werner

Additional Information: n/a

PS. I use Apple’s Safari or Mozilla’s Firefox Focus browsers, for generally trouble-free downloading.

Thanks for the fast response, but it didn’t solve the issue.
I have the latest version of Brave and it happens with several devices. iPadOS 18, 17 and 26 as well.
Best regards
