If you can’t download a brand brief, product details, or reference files from JoinBrands, don’t worry, this can happen because your phone browser blocks file downloads by default. Follow these quick steps to fix the issue 👇

🔧 General Fixes

  • Check your internet connection. Switch to Wi-Fi for better stability.

  • Make sure your browser allows downloads and pop-ups.

  • If you still have trouble, log in from a desktop browser as a quick workaround.


⚙️ Enable File Downloads: Step-by-Step

🍎 For iPhone (Safari or Chrome)

  1. Go to Settings → Safari (or Chrome if you use it)

  2. Tap Downloads → Choose “On My iPhone” or “iCloud Drive.”

  3. Ensure “Block Pop-ups” = OFF.

  4. When Safari asks for permission to download, tap “Allow.”


🤖 For Android (Google Chrome)

  1. Open Chrome → ⋮ (menu) → Settings → Site Settings.

  2. Tap Downloads or Automatic Downloads.

  3. Turn “Ask first” OFF or toggle “Allow” ON.

  4. If prompted, go to:
    ​Device Settings → Apps → Chrome → Permissions → Files and Media → Allow access to all files.


📱 For Samsung Internet Browser

  1. Go to Settings → Apps → Samsung Internet → Permissions.

  2. Under Files and media, select “Allow access to all files.”

  3. Restart the browser and try again.


💡 Extra Tips

  • Clear your browser cache:

    • Safari: Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data

    • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Clear Browsing Data

  • Use Wi-Fi for large files (mobile data may stop mid-download).

  • Reload the page or restart the browser if the Download button freezes.


✅ After adjusting your settings, try downloading again. Your file should appear in your phone’s Downloads or Files app right away.

💡 It’s completely safe to allow downloads from JoinBrands. You can always turn permissions off later if you prefer.

🔧 If downloads aren’t working on mobile, logging into your JoinBrands account from a computer browser usually solves the issue instantly.
