There default download location is whatever you set in your code. You can write the files to practically any folder you want.

As for protecting the files, you really can't. There is no way to stop someone from copying the files off the phone and sharing them.

The only way you can protect the audio (notice I did not say "files"!) is if you encode the audio in a format you devise and can only be decoded and played in your own player that is written to understand it. This is not trivial to do. Good luck with that.
