After updating to Sequoia my file downloading process in safari is broken.
it will initiate the process but it will not download any further. When you click on open finder message will say cannot move file
i tried to clear safari cache. Same problem.
when I use Microsoft edge it works fine.
so what setting changed in Safari to cause this
any insight?

To clarify further...
I'm running Ventura and everything was working fine with Safari downloading anywhere... until the latest Safari Version 18.0 (18619.1.26.111.10, 18619)
After that, download starts; file.download is created on my NAS drive; and then when all done, Safari says it couldn't move the file.
This is new and is happening to everyone I'd guess who happens to always or sometimes (as do I) choose a download location on a NAS -- I haven't tried just an external drive.
AND YES, I did set that the new Safari should have access to FULL DISK ACCESS in settings.
This is clearly a bug in the new Safari.
I also get this using Safari 18.0.1 on macOS 14.7 Sonoma, downloading to the built in drive on my M1 MBP.
Interestingly, if I enable my VPN the same downloads complete and are moved successfully.
I solved the problem by creating a sub-folder in the Downloads folder and then designating the sub-folder as destination for downloads. This works for me. I run Safari Version 18.0.1 Sequoia 15.0.1
Any response or fix yet? I am on 15.1.1 (24B91) Macbook pro M3 and im still can't download to external drives and NAS.
This is not related to Sequoia. I'm using Sonoma 14.7.1 and Safari 18.1.1 and I've the exact same issue, so the problem is in Safari.
Is there any indication Apple is doing anything about this? I have made sure I have updated Safari & all else--same issue stands.
Lucky I found this. Now I have a work round.
Apple still needs to fix it though - it's been frustrating me for months.
Why does Safari not download files after Sequoia update?
