Where Does Neat Download Manager Store Tasks?
Where NeatDM keeps download tasks, settings and the default folder on Windows and Mac for migration.
Last updated
NeatDM pairs a per OS user data folder with a download directory you choose. Tasks, credentials and options live in data; finished files live in downloads. The browser extension hands links to the same queue.
Check Settings for the download path before assuming. Copy data with the app closed so the task store flushes. Pause active jobs first; resume files copied mid-write restart from zero on the new machine.
Where Neat Download Manager stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\NeatDM
Tasks and settings in one data folder. Confirm the download dir in Settings. Close the app before copying so the queue flushes to disk.
~/Library/Application Support/NeatDM
Same data layout under Application Support. Use Finder Go to Folder to reach it. Extension drops land in the Settings download path.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate NeatDM to a new computer?
Close NeatDM and copy its user data folder plus the download directory. Tasks and logins need the data folder, files need the downloads. One half alone restores poorly.
Where does NeatDM save files by default?
Open NeatDM Settings and read the download path. Defaults point under home Downloads, but the field always shows the live folder. Browser extension drops follow the same setting.
