 Hello everyone, I'm having problems trying transfer local files(.mp3 on Windows 10) to my smartphone, the files doesn't download. I use android 6.0 and when I tested on another device with android 7.1.2 gave the same problem. Please, someone can help me?"When I'm Not Around" is the local file."When I'm Not Around" is the local file.

It's probably just your firewall but gere's a full list of things to look at.

 

  • Your PC and mobile must be connected to the same Network/SSID and spotify should be running on your PC.
  • In your router settings, check that UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled.
  • Make sure that Windows shows your network as private and not public.
  • Set exceptions for spotify in any firewall or internet security programme. If you are unsure how to do this, temporarily disable them.
  • Check that you haven't already hit the limit of 3,333 downloads per device or 9,999 downloads across all devices.
  • If you are using a wifi network outside of your home, there is every chance that the protocols used by spotify for downloading are blocked.

If you still can't make it work, you can create a mobile hotspot on your mobile and connect your PC to this hotspot via wifi. Syncing the local files should then work.

THANKS, it's work. I temporarily desabled the firewall and it worked again.
