Canvas Question: How to disable automatic downloading of course media files whenever opened?

[BCPSParent]

Whenever we open a media file on Canvas, it automatically downloads to our laptop hard drive, often creating multiple/duplicate files ("(file name)1,2,3", etc.) each time we choose to reopen the file/s. How do we turn off or disable this function, if possible? Thanks.

We also reported this to Canvas, but there has been nothing actionable so far.
