How to see reacently download files

In the new window, search for a specific file by date or typing the search term into the search box at the top right corner of the window. In Windows 7 or 8, you can search for recently downloaded files by clicking on the Start button and typing the name of the file into the search box. After recovering the recently downloaded file, save it to a new location that is easier to access or remember. To avoid losing the downloaded files in the future, specify the destination of the file when the Save File dialog box appears.

Next to a file, you will find either a folder icon, or an option to open the containing folder. Click it. This will open the folder that the file was downloaded and saved to. File download managers have a feature similar to browsers. The settings are normally where you can set the folder that all files should be downloaded to. Right-click the downloaded file or the in-progress download in the torrent client. The context menu will have an option called open containing folder, or something similar.

Clicking it will open the folder that the downloaded file is in. Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer users can have their recently downloaded files placed in a specific default folder that they designate. They can then scroll down to the section titled Downloads and click on Change to select or create a folder where they would like their recent downloads to be placed in the future.

Google Chrome is another Web browser that, by default, places all recently downloaded files into the Downloads folder in Windows. It can be accessed in the same way as files downloaded from Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer.

Users who have forgotten where they specified files to be placed, or those who wish to change the location of future downloads, can find these settings in the Google Chrome browser. First, users should open Google Chrome and click on Settings in the menu. They can then click on Advanced at the bottom of the Settings page and scroll down until they find the section called Downloads. Google Chrome users can opt to have the Web browser ask where they would like to place a file every time one is downloaded, or they can select a location to automatically place all downloaded files.

Those who are Mac OS users have a slightly different process for finding the location of their recently downloaded files. The default Web browser on Mac computers is Safari.
