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

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:

Google Chrome

Go to the downloads section and make sure “Ask where to save each file before downloading” is selected
