Local Files Wont Even Download On Desktop : spotify
I am having a problem with my local files playing on the Android Spotify app. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but it doesn't seem to work, all the other music downloads but not my local files that have been added to that playlist. Like many, I'm having issues with my local files in Spotify on my Windows laptop. I have over 30, local files that I would like to be able to listen to along with music I stream on Spotify. I understand that this is a fairly large number of songs, but I have never had such issues with any other. Anyway you can sync local files only through making a playlist. The problem lies in the Spotify app. It has the option to click sync local files. And it actually does it, but this is useless as there is no way to search or play these files unless they are in a playlist on the latest Android App.

Apparently, I had indeed disabled the Windows Firewall for secure connections, but left it enabled for unsecure connections. I was home, though Windows thought I was using an unsecure connection. After disabling the Windows Firewall for unsecure connections too, the local files in all of my playlists started to sync to all of my devices.
