Where to Find Downloads on Netflix on Laptop?

UPDATED in October 2024: Netflix no longer supports downloading movies or shows on laptop. To download Netflix content with the Netflix app, you need one of these supported devices, including Android phone or tablet, iPhone or iPad, Amazon Fire tablet, or Google Chromebook.

The steps to find where are Netflix downloads stored on laptop are pretty easy. Just follow us:

1. First, open File Explorer from the Task Bar. Because the Netflix folder is a hidden folder, you are required to change the property of the folder if you want to open it.



2. At the top of the File Explorer interface, please select “View” tab and then click on the Options menu button.
3. In Folder Options, select the View tab and scroll to the Files and Folders settings. If it’s not checked, please select the Show Hidden files, folders, and drives setting to enable it. Make sure to select OK and the menu will close out.



4. From File Explorer, you can navigate to the Netflix download folder by directly copying and pasting the path into the explore box. The full path of Netflix downloads on laptop is: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\4DF9E0F8.Netflix_mcm4njqhnhss8\LocalState\offlineInfo\downloads.

Here [USERNAME] is the Windows folder with your current username.

Now that the folder is open, it's important to note that the files within it do not have recognizable names for movies or shows. Instead, they are unidentified data files that can only be played using the Netflix app. Therefore, even though you have found the location, the only action you can take is to manage your storage space by deleting these files, rather than copying them to other devices. This limitation can be disappointing.
