When you download something where does it go?

Answer 1

It all depends on the browser that you're using. For example, internet Explorer usually will ask you if you want to open or save the file in question. If you click save, it should bring up a box asking you to pick a location to save the file. In Mozilla Firefox, the download usually defaults to the desktop, unless you predefine in your browser settings where you want any downloaded files to be saved.

Answer 2

Computer files are stored on a computer's hard drive, usually. They can also be stored in other places such as on a cloud server, on a DVD or CD, on a USB drive, etc. The media (storage device) contains a filesystem (like a master database) and the files are stored within that file system.

Answer 3

As of 2017, computers typically have a hard disk; that's where the files are physically stored.Logically, such a hard disk is divided into folders, also known as directories; the exact location where things are stored by default depends on settings of the software. For example, Microsoft Word will have a default location to save documents; and a browser such as Opera will have a default location to store downloaded files. You can usually change this default setting.
