Using the Netflix App on your PC, you can download Movies and TV shows for offline viewing. Well, the steps to change the Netflix Download Location in Windows 10 are listed below.
Change Netflix Download Location In Windows 10
Netflix saves all downloaded movies and videos to the same drive where the Netflix App is installed by default on your computer.
It essentially means that Netflix Movies and TV Shows will download to your computer’s primary drive (C:).
However, if your computer does not have enough storage space or wants to overload the main drive with Netflix downloads, you can move Netflix downloads to an external drive.
Storage Space Required For Netflix Movie Downloads
The video’s length and quality determine the amount of storage space needed to download a Netflix video.
In general, downloading 60 minutes of standard-definition video requires 1 GB of storage space, while downloading the same length movie in HD format requires 3 GB of storage space.
Furthermore, the storage requirement increases to 7 GB if the same 60-minute video is downloaded in Ultra-HD format.
