How Do You Download Files From Gumroad?

Once you purchase a digital product through Gumroad, you have two options available to you to help you to access it. 

Through Your Gumroad Account

If you have a Gumroad Account, you can access your digital content easily through your online profile!

This makes it incredibly easy to stay on top of all of your digital content after purchasing it, which is particularly beneficial if you have bought numerous products from a specific seller.

Simply head to the Gumroad website and log in to your account. This will give you access to your ‘Gumroad Library’, from which you will be able to access all of the digital content you have purchased on Gumroad through your account.

This will allow you to access the content directly online, without any need to download it through a download button, which can be very beneficial for accessing your content wherever you are, and on numerous different devices.

And you can also download videos and content from the library onto your device’s memory so you can access it offline! 

Through Your Email

Luckily, you do not need to have a Gumroad account in order to purchase products through the Gumroad storefronts.

Whenever you purchase a product through Gumroad, you will need to enter an email address, and this address is where your content will be sent to. 

When you confirm your purchase of a product through Gumroad, you will automatically be sent an email to your address which will also contain a link through which you can then access your content. 

This will then allow you to directly download Gumroad videos and the digital products that you have purchased. 

However, you should keep in mind that this will not allow you to access your products through the Gumroad library platform.

If you plan to buy numerous digital products through Gumroad, then you will want to make an account to make it easier to manage all of your purchased products!

How To Save Video From Gumroad On Mobile?

Absolutely. If you don’t have a Gumroad account, you can access the link to your product on any device that is able to access your email address.

Simply head to the link on your mobile phone, and you will then be able to download the file to your mobile device. 

Make sure to check the compatibility of all your files with your chosen device. Audio files and visual content should work perfectly, but things like digital 3D assets may require certain hardware or software. 

If you have a Gumroad account, you can access your Gumroad Library at any time by logging into your Gumroad account on the Gumroad website.

This will allow you to access all your purchases remotely, but you can also use the Gumroad video downloader to download them to your device for offline use! 

Is There A Gumroad App?

Yes! If you have purchased a vast number of digital products through Gumroad, especially things such as audiobooks, music, and film, then you will definitely want to make use of the Gumroad Library app.

This app, which is designed for use with both IOS and Android devices is a mobile-friendly version of the Gumroad Library that can be accessed all through one simple app! (Check out ‘Is Gumroad Safe?‘)

Logging into the app is incredibly simple, and just requires your Gumroad account details.

Once you are on the app, you can use it to access all of your compatible content wherever you are, provided you have an internet connection to take advantage of streaming.

Most digital content is compatible with access within the Gumroad app, like ebooks, music, and film, but things like digital assets for 3D modeling will not work.

The app is incredibly useful because it has all of the basic tools you need to stream all of your content efficiently.

You can listen to your audio content, watch your Gumroad video and visual content, and read all of your text-based content natively within the app.

Not only this, but you can also set your digital content to ‘offline’ mode so that you can access it even when you don’t have an internet connection.

However, you will need to keep in mind that some creators may set their digital products to be ‘streaming only’ so you cannot download them for offline use.

What Do You Do If Files Are Missing From Gumroad?

Though it is unlikely, you may encounter errors while accessing your Gumroad Library, and you may find that certain files are totally inaccessible.

If you are accessing your Gumroad Library via mobile, check to see if you can find any missing content through your desktop library, as it could simply be that the content is not compatible with mobile devices! 

If you still find that your Gumroad content is missing from your library, you can directly contact the Gumroad support team via email.

Make sure to mention the name of the content that you cannot access. The Gumroad team will be able to add the product to your library manually.

There may occasionally be cases in which products go missing from your library simply because the seller has withdrawn access to the item, or removed it from their storefront.

To Wrap Up

Luckily, downloading your files from Gumroad is incredibly easy. Whether you have a Gumroad account or not, Gumroad seeks to make it easy to access everything you have paid for.

Whether through your email address or through a dedicated Gumroad account, you can access all of your digital content and download the files to your personal devices! 

However, you should keep in mind that some sellers may opt to make it impossible to download their content, and to make it only accessible via streaming.
