How to Find Amazon Video Download Location on Android and PC

Have you ever downloaded your favorite TV series on Amazon Prime Video to binge-watch on a long flight, only to find yourself wondering where those files are actually stored? I faced the same dilemma last weekend while clearing up space on my Android phone. It was frustrating not being able to locate the files directly, and that’s when I decided to dig deep and uncover their secret hiding spots. In this guide, I’ll share everything I learned to help you locate those elusive downloads, whether you’re using an Android device or a PC.

Where Are Amazon Video Downloads Stored on Android?

Amazon Prime Video does not allow direct access to downloaded files due to copyright restrictions. Instead, the files are encrypted and stored in a location accessible only through the app. Here’s how you can locate them:

Step 1. Open File Manager

Use the default File Manager app on your Android device or download a third-party app like "IONOS."

Step 2. Navigate to Internal Storage

Access the internal storage or SD card storage, depending on where the Prime Video app is installed.

Step 3. Find the Prime Video Folder

Navigate to Android > data > com.amazon.avod.thirdpartyclient > files.or /data/data/com.amazon.avod.thirdpartyclient

Step 4. Locate the Downloads

Inside the files folder, you’ll see subfolders named after the downloaded videos. These files are in a proprietary format and cannot be played outside the app.

Q. Can You Transfer Amazon Video Downloads on Android?

No, Amazon encrypts the downloaded content to prevent unauthorized sharing. These files can only be accessed and played within the Amazon Prime Video app.
