Hi all, I am not sure if I have changed something or an update broke it but last image I saved on the 19.06.2025 was working and I tried yesterday and it's not downloading the images. It says downloading and then it goes back to the top of my feed, and the image is not downloaded.

Android Pixel 8 up to date BP1A.250505.005.B1

Thanks for any help on how to fix that.

Edit: going to settings > data and storage > configure download > enable community folders, has fixed the issue for me... I assume it has to do with the download folder so maybe renaming the boost folder in downloads may fix the issue as well, but I have not tried it. Maybe something to do with permissions of that folder.

Edit 2: turning off community folders returned the issue. Renaming the folder "Boost" under Pictures on the device, forced the application to create a new folder and the issue was solved.

Edit 3: renaming the boost folder stopped working and now the application crashes again... Back to community folders to see how long that will last.

Hi :) not sure if it's useful, but here's a post and some discussions about it in the comments :) it seems to go away if storage is cleared, but not always, and it comes back again :)

I'm having the exact same issue. I didn't know where to post my question. Thank you. It's insane because I like to download and share memes.

Completely crashes my app when trying to save images. I switched to Interstellar since my alt account is on Piefed.

The community folders worked for me at one point but I really don't want to clutter my phone's files with individual folders per community. Clearing cache and raising the cache limit didn't work, unfortunately b
