Thanks Michal. Could you do $ ls -la ~/Downloads to confirm you do have access to the Downloads folder?

I checked System Settings>Updates againg just now and it says that the YouTube app is updated. Not sure if that's really true as the changes from the app changelog does not seem to work.

Sorry, you need to check the folder ~/.local/share/ubuntu-download-manager/Downloads

My bad. Also, you can find the installed version of the youtube scope by doing $ click list | grep youtube

So the youtube app is not updated as the newest version is 0.9

The manual workaround, that has worked for me:

$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /
$ sudo mkdir /Downloads
$ sudo chown -R phablet:phablet /Downloads
$ sudo ln -s /home/phablet/Downloads /Downloads
$ sudo mount -o remount,ro /

I restarted my phone, but then I took full advantage of the hack, I got all the updates installed.
