When you download a free ebook from Careers360, the location of the file on your device depends on a few factors, primarily your web browser's settings and your operating system. Understanding these factors will help you locate your downloaded book quickly and efficiently.

Firstly, the most common location for downloaded files is the "Downloads" folder on your computer. This folder is typically the default destination for files downloaded from the internet, regardless of the website from which they originated. On Windows operating systems, you can usually find the "Downloads" folder by opening File Explorer and looking for it in the left-hand navigation pane. On macOS, the "Downloads" folder is readily accessible in the Finder sidebar.

However, your web browser allows you to customize the default download location. If you have previously changed this setting, the ebook might be saved in a different folder. To check or change your browser's download settings, you'll need to access the browser's preferences or settings menu. In Google Chrome, for example, you can find this by clicking on the three vertical dots in the top right corner, selecting "Settings," and then navigating to the "Downloads" section. Here, you can see the current download location and change it if necessary. Other browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge have similar settings menus where you can manage download locations.

Another possibility is that the ebook might have been saved in a location you selected during the download process. When you initiate a download, your browser might prompt you to choose a specific folder to save the file. If you remember selecting a particular location, navigate to that folder to find your ebook.

If you are still unable to locate the file, you can use your computer's search function. On Windows, you can use the search bar in the Start menu or File Explorer. On macOS, you can use Spotlight search by pressing Command + Space. Type the name of the ebook or the file extension (such as ".pdf" if it's a PDF file) into the search bar. This will search your entire computer for files matching your search criteria.

Additionally, if you downloaded the ebook on a mobile device, the location might vary depending on your operating system and the app you used to download it. On Android devices, downloaded files are often saved in the "Downloads" folder, which you can access using a file manager app. On iOS devices, the location might depend on the app used for downloading. If you used Safari, the file might be saved in the "Files" app.

Remember to double-check the download prompt when you initiate the download from Careers360. This prompt often displays the file name and the location where it will be saved. Paying attention to this information will save you time and effort in locating your downloaded ebook.
