Change Edge downloads to a different location



Edge downloads files to the, well, Downloads folder, strangely enough, but maybe you want to change that? If so, that’s entirely possible, but there’s no easy option, and instead you have to use a workaround.
To change the location of where your downloaded files are saved, right click on the Start menu, select File Explorer, right click on the Downloads folder in the left-hand pane and select Properties. Now find the Location tab, which lists where the folder currently lies on your drive – then you can enter a new path, and hit apply. From now on, your downloaded files will be saved in the newly specified directory instead of Downloads. If you change your mind, you can always hit Restore Default to go back to using the Downloads folder.
Hopefully, Microsoft will update the browser to allow users to do this in a more straightforward manner in the future.
