Where your files download on your computer depends on your browser settings. The process might be different depending on the browser or operating system you’re using; but here are a few examples:
Google Chrome
- Open Chrome Settings (⠇- at the top right of your screen) .
- Select Downloads in the menu.
- Change the Location to the one you prefer.
- Alternatively, enable Ask where to save each file before downloading. If enabled, this feature means you will be asked to save each file you download to a desired location. Files will no longer automatically go to a specific location.
Change Windows Downloads Location
Alternatively, you can configure a different Downloads folder on your computer:
- Open File Explorer and find the Downloads folder in.
- Right-click Downloads and select Properties.
- Go to the Location tab.
- Click Move and select your new destination folder.
- Click Apply and choose whether to move old files to the new folder.
Safari (MacOS)
- Open Safari on your Mac.
- Choose Settings (or Preferences, depending on your version).
- Go to the General tab.
- Click the menu next to File download location.
- Select Other... to pick a new folder, or choose Ask for each download to pick a spot every time.
