Since the update to Sequoia 15.0, Safari on my M2 8GB MacMini can no longer save files to the NAS or external hard disks. The files are automatically saved as a "filename.fileextension.download" file. And the file in the safari downloads tab mentions "cannot move file" underneath it. Other browsers do not have this problem.
Mac mini, macOS 15.0
Hi,
It depends of the partition system of the external drive.
On APFS or FAT32, it works.
On NTFS or Ext4 or BTRFS or ExFAT it doesn't work for me.
It looks like a safari bug...

Hi, same issue for me with Sequoia and Safari 18 on two different Macs.
I can DL the file on the Mac and after move it to the NAS or the external drive. But Can't DL the file directly on the NAS or the external drive.
Same issue also with the DP Safari version...
exactly the same here - annoying as ****.....
Safari does not download files to external hard disks or NAS
