Ask where to save each file before downloading

February 7, 2015   /   by Marco  / Categories :  Google, Software, Technology, TIP AND TRICKS

By default, when you click on a file to download it will save it in the download folder e.g c:\users\[account name]\Downloads

If you want to be a bit more organised like me, I save files in a specific location. That way I don’t have to move the files at a later stage. Each browser has their own way of doing things so this option is different in each program you use. Below you will find the steps required to enable this feature in each browser:
