Downloaded File can be Accessed by Anyone

Summary: This article explains the behaviour of the Find File Path action when accessing files from the local download directory and clarifies file accessibility limitations for multiple users

Error behavior

When this issue occurs, you may observe the following behavior:

  • The file located in the local download directory is not accessible to other users.

  • When attempting to access the file path from another user session, the file cannot be found or accessed.

  • No direct error may appear in Avo, but access fails due to system-level restrictions.

Possible Reasons

This issue may occur due to one or more of the following reasons:

  • Files downloaded locally are stored under user-specific system directories.

  • Local file systems restrict access to the user profile that downloaded the file.

  • Lack of shared storage location for the file.

Resolution/Solution

To resolve this issue and ensure successful execution, perform the following actions:

  1. If a file is saved locally, only the individual user who downloaded it can access it.

  2. To make the file accessible to multiple users, it needs to be stored in a shared location. A network‑shared folder is an example of such a shared location.
