I know it is important to manage your data Cj02. What is the Make of your device? How are these forms being (web, app, etc) downloaded? Are you selecting a link to download the forms?

As the rep, AmberF asked, how are you getting to these downloads?  If it's a link or attachment in your email, you can set the preferences for email to always ask before downloading, or to only download when connected to wifi.

If you are getting the downloads when you are browsing websites and clicking on links to PDF files, then you would need to adjust the browser settings so that you are always asked before downloading, or again, only download over wifi.

In any case, the settings will be from within the app where you are accessing the downloads.

Thank you for responding.

I have a galaxy s6. I am not selecting a link to download. Automatic

downloading is happening from the web.

Suzy, thank you and Amber. I think it maybe what you said Suzy. It maybe

the brower setting. How do I change this on my device? I tried but I need

step-by-step instructions. Will you please help me? I have attached a

website as an example. I was on this website and clicked" Somers family

reading nite", it automatically downloaded the form, and saved it to my

flies.

While checking browser settings, I also came across another setting that is likely to be causing this - your default app settings (since you said it happens automatically - I get options on how to handle the file, so I'm thinking you may have set the default to download....).  Go to Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications and see if there is a PDF reader or file download manager listed.  If there is, then clear it.  Then try going to the site to see if you get options for how to deal with the file, with the choice to use the option Just once, or Always use the app.

Hope this helps.

Suzy thank you for all your help, I appreciate it. I've attached a screen

shot of my default applications, I don't see what you've described. Again,

thank you!!

I'm not seeing any attachment? 

[Cj02]

I resent. It's at the bottom. It says ,"screenshot".

Still not seeing it - are you attaching it to an email?  Try responding directly on the forum and attaching it via the camera icon....
