How to download movies from Disney Plus to USB

Disney Plus has tons of movies and TV series to stream on your Android or iOS devices. The good news is you don’t have to rely entirely on your cellular or internet connection to watch the service’s library of content. Disney allows you to download all of the Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, and classic Disney content available on the service. There are no limits on the number of titles you can download on up to ten mobile or tablet devices. You do have to connect back to the web at least once every 30 days, though. This is a helpful feature for those with less than great internet or caps. It’s also handy for road trips or on an airplane.
