Find a file you downloaded
Open a file you saved from a website, minutes or weeks later.
A file you download is copied onto your own machine, into a folder called Downloads, whatever site it came from.
The browser also keeps a list of everything it has saved, so you can open a file again without hunting.
Key points
- Downloaded files land in a folder called Downloads
- The browser keeps a list of every file it has saved
What to remember
- The browser’s list is the shortest way back.
- Downloaded means copied onto your own machine.
