Where to find the downloaded files on different devices:


Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Default Download Folder:

For Windows: Normally, the files download directly into the "Downloads" folder. You can find it once you open File Explorer and go to Downloads.

For macOS: Normally, the Download folder in your user directory becomes the default download location

For Linux: Usually, it goes directly to the "Downloads" folder in your home directory

Browser-Specific Settings:


Some browsers allow you to decide where to download files by default. Check if you changed the default location.

Android, iOS:

File Manager App:

Open the File Manager app on your device (Files app on Android).

Find a folder named "Downloads" or "Download."

Browser App:

Be sure to look for downloaded history or settings from the browser you used for the files.

Searching for Downloaded Files: End


Search your device: Search for keywords about the file name or content.

In the cloud storage: If you are a Google Drive user or Dropbox user, you might have synced this automatically to the cloud storage.

File Manager Application: It helps to organize and may allow you a quicker search for files in this.

If it remains elusive what you downloaded, you may follow these:


Look for deleted files in the recycle bin or Trash: sometimes when you delete files accidentally, they end up in the recycle bin or trash.

Search Your Computer or Device: Press Ctrl+Alt+ and then type in a word you are sure is in the document, then type it into the 'search computer' bar.

Reaching out to Technical Support: if you are using a certain piece of software or hardware, you may need to reach out to their support team.

This should lead you to your downloaded files.
