  • 2.7.3:12026-09-19YTPTube can now save downloads to NextExplorer as well as File Browser; choose it with the Select Download Destination action, and downloads land in a drive called YTPTube. If the file manager you chose is uninstalled, downloads now go to YTPTube’s own storage and a prompt appears on the service page, instead of disappearing into a folder no service shows. File Browser is no longer maintained; its successor, FileBrowser Quantum, works in its place. Updating from earlier than 2.7.3? That release bundled YouTube’s token provider, which uses about 160 MB more memory.
