To download a file from a URL straight to the cloud, paste a supported link into Seedr and wait for the task to finish. You can close the browser during the fetch; viewing or saving the result later still uses your connection.

Why fetch to the cloud

  • The download does not use your device's storage or data plan while it runs.

  • It keeps going if you close the tab or switch off your computer.

  • You can reach the file later from any device, and play videos, audio, images and documents without downloading them again.

Add a link, step by step

  1. Sign in and open your files.

  2. Tap or click the link icon in the add menu.

  3. Paste the file link. You can also choose which folder it should be saved to.

  4. Watch the progress on the Tasks page. When it finishes the file is in your folder.

The same box accepts links to web pages, and Seedr can scan a page for the files it contains. All the ways to add content, including uploads and the browser extension, are in Three ways to add links and files.

Limits worth knowing

  • The link must point to something you can access and have the right to download. Pages that need you to sign in on the source site will not work from a link alone.

  • How much you can store depends on your plan. See

Separate the two transfers

  • Use a supported source link you are authorized to access. A page requiring your browser login may not be fetchable from its URL alone.

  • Wait for the task to finish and check the file in your cloud folder.

  • Viewing or saving it to your device still uses your connection. Keep enough cloud space for the complete import.

Frequently asked questions

Can I close the browser during a cloud fetch?

Yes. Seedr handles the remote transfer. Your device needs a connection again when you check, view or download the result.

Will a cloud fetch make my slow Wi-Fi faster?

No. It separates the source transfer from your device connection. Watching and downloading still depend on local bandwidth.
