When you log in on the Showpad app, you will see 2 options to sync the available content:
- Yes, always download everything.
All available content will be downloaded in the background. This requires a stable internet connection during that action. You can continue working while all content is downloaded.
When the Always Download All Files option is enabled, keep in mind that you won't be able to remove the downloaded files from your device. To remove the downloaded files, disable the Always Download All Files option first in your Account settings.
If you are on a mobile connection, all downloads larger than 20mb will be paused to avoid exceeding your data plan. You can enable or disable the usage of your Cellular Data connection in your Account settings.
It's important to know that you won't be able to share content when your cellular data connection is disabled and you're not connected via wifi.
You also have the option to pause downloads and continue downloading the content once you have a wifi connection available.
The Showpad app checks for updates in the background on a regular basis. If future content updates are available, you will see a notification in the top right corner. You can start syncing your content by tapping the icon. After downloading the updates, you'll see what's new and what changed in which channel.

The content will download when you open a selected file. This means an internet connection is always necessary. Once the content has been downloaded, it's available offline on your device.
