Aside from that app I listed in the OP, I can't even find where the video goes! It's not even in the media player.

So File Explorer is the key to everything. 

If you have the browser set to ask you where to save, you can choose and/or create folders, name your download file, and save it to the system  or external storage as you please. 

To watch Videos, open File Explorer, browse to the folder you saved your video to, and select the file. It will give you a list of apps that can play the selected file. 

From File Explorer you can also transfer files to and from exterenal storage. 

Finally, PDF's are supported directly in the browser. You can download the files as well. I don't know for sure if they work as I have nothing else that reads PDF's. 

 

I have yet to try and grab any music from my Amazon account, but I feel pretty confedent it will work just fine. I have an old 256GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive that just found a new home. Saving to it allows VLC player to see any videos I download without having to take the long way through the File Explorer.

All in all, I am extreamly happy with this update. I will be using the Xbox a lot more, as it just took a major leap over the PS4 in web browsing. More tabs, no issues with single web pages causing the system to tell me it has insufficient memory, plus the ability to downlaod and have decent control over files and folders. Excellent work Microsoft!

Thank you so much for this info! Haven't seen it anywhere else in the web. Still, it's pretty great for a console browser.

Somebody should make a YouTube video to spread the word and show people what their console is capable of--or somebody has and I just can't find it.
