Netflix for Android: save movies to SD card - how it works

If the internal memory of your Android phone is already full, you can save films and series from Netflix on the SD card. How this works exactly and which settings you have to change for it, we show in this article.

Netflix: Save downloads on the SD card

You can use the free Netflix app to download films and series and watch your favorite episodes offline. By default, Netflix stores all data on your device's internal storage. This can be changed at any time:

1. Start the Netflix app and log in with your account data.
2. In the top left, tap the menu icon with the three horizontal lines.
3. Select the "App Settings" entry at the bottom.
4. In the "Downloads" section, tap the "Download location" entry and select your SD card there.
5. You may need to allow Netflix to access your SD card. To do this, tap "Allow" at the corresponding message. Then all future downloads will be saved on your SD card.

If there is not enough space on your SD card, you can change the download quality on Netflix and thus reduce the storage requirements of individual films.
