🔧 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.
