Setting a default download location
Overview
You can set a default download location on your desktop app. If you use the web app, your browser has its own way of handling download locations. Please check the corresponding setting in your browser.
Instructions
Step 1
Click the gear icon on the top right of Front and into the Personal settings tab. Select Preferences.
Step 2
Scroll down to Download location.
Step 3
Click Change. A window will appear. Navigate to your desired download location and click Open.
Custom location
To prompt a custom save path for just this one time, hold down SHIFT and click on the download icon. This feature is only available on the desktop app.

Paul Jackman It should be below what your screen shot shows. If you don't see it, try refreshing your app. If you're on the Windows desktop app, try downloading the newest one here (launched a new framework last week).

Hi, It would be really good to have the option to choose where your downloads go rather than just the default folder - ie the option to create new folder to hold all the downloads enclose in an email - otherwise I get a bunch of files cluttering up my desktop where they currently go for ease of opening......

Tushar Gangoly Courtenay Rickey Autumn Boyd Kenji here with the Front support team 👋 have you tried using this to save to a different location each time: "To prompt a custom save path for just this one time, hold down shift and click on the download icon. This feature is only available on the desktop app." I'd love to help create a feature request if this wasn't what you were looking for so wanted to get a better understanding of if this option wasn't working for you or if it's something you wanted to see changed in the app. Any info appreciated thanks so much!
