Download Management and Auto Storage Handling
-
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to better understand how download management works in the app, especially around automatically managing storage.
Right now, I have my settings configured to download the latest two episodes of my podcasts, and I have a few questions:
- When a new episode is downloaded, should the app automatically delete the oldest one to keep only the latest two? Or is that something that doesn’t happen today?
- If I stop following or unselect a podcast for new episodes, should previously downloaded episodes be removed automatically? I’m not seeing that behavior.
- What exactly does the “on follow” setting do in terms of downloads and storage?
More broadly, is there a way to fully automate storage management? Ideally, it would be great if the app could:
- Keep only the latest X episodes
- Remove older ones automatically
- Clean up downloads when a podcast is no longer followed
Not sure if this already exists and I’m missing something, or if this could be a feature to consider.
Thanks!
