When to use each

​
How files are stored

Downloaded files are synced to Browserbase’s cloud storage automatically. You don’t need to configure a download path. Files are available via the API after the session completes. Screenshots and PDFs are returned directly in your automation code and saved locally, not stored in Browserbase cloud storage.
Downloaded files are renamed with a Unix timestamp to avoid conflicts (e.g. report.pdf → report-1719265797164.pdf).
