Dear team:

please reconsider adding the ability to have Downloads in Android TV.

I believe my use case might make sense for several folks: I travel for work and use Plex on the road. At hotels, the internet can be limited so it would be ideal to have some movies and shows available without having to rely on streaming.

I often take vacations on the beach, which means sometimes the internet is not going to be available. It would be nice to be able to have some downloaded content for those cases too.

Thanks!  
Fede.

There’s an existing feature suggestion discussing this (suggestion thread title is still based on `mobile sync`, the `download` predecessor).

> [@Enable Sync to Android TV / Streaming boxes](https://forums.plex.tv/t/enable-sync-to-android-tv-streaming-boxes/575250):
>
> Please enable the sync feature found in the android mobile app on the android tv app version of Plex. I’ve seen hundreds of posts online about people asking if this is possible. I have an Nvidia shield that I take with me travelling, camping and good internet connections are not always available. The ability to sync some of my content would make things a lot easier - I really don’t understand why the feature would not exist on android tv in the first place? I want to buy a Plex Pass for this…

I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes. Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of this thread I’ll close it as a duplicate.
