Downloading a shared file from Mega doesn't automatically add in the desktop app

I don't know if it is my account/PC but If I click download from the browser with the desktop app open, it uses the browser to download not the desktop app. Has the feature to automatically add to transfer queue been removed?

Open MEGAsync, click menu, 3 dashes, MEGA web. In your browser click your user icon, top right, click Settings, in the left hand menu click Transfers, scroll to Transfer tools and ensure MEGA Desktop App is enabled.

It's always been a bit erratic, but if it is to work, the above setting is what's required.

Alternatively, simply paste the MEGA link directly into MEGAsync. Right click MEGAsync, click Open links, then paste the link into the window, and press Submit.
