下载文件时，新的基于Chromium 的 Microsoft Edge(Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge)会将它们保存在名为Downloads的默认文件夹中。但是，可以轻松地将Windows 10中的(Windows 10)Microsoft Edge下载位置更改为您选择的另一个文件夹。此外，您还可以启用一个选项，让您将文件保存在特定位置。阅读本指南，了解如何查看下载、更改Microsoft Edge下载位置以及决定文件的保存方式：
如何在Microsoft Edge中查看下载(Microsoft Edge)
默认情况下，Microsoft Edge将您下载的所有文件放在名为Downloads的默认文件夹中，该文件夹位于您的用户文件夹(user folder)中。文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中的确切路径是“C:\Users\your_name\Downloads” ——其中“your_name”是您的 Windows 10 用户帐户的名称，如下所示。

但是，其他应用程序也使用“下载”文件夹在(Downloads)Windows 10中保存文件。如果您只想查看Microsoft Edge下载，最简单的方法是在浏览器中使用键盘快捷键Ctrl + J
下载(Downloads)选项卡打开，提供您下载的文件的清晰概览。在左侧，您还可以按类型对它们进行排序，以便更轻松地找到它们。
在Microsoft Edge中，按Ctrl + J
提示：如果您在(TIP:)Windows中遇到“下载(Downloads)”用户文件夹出现故障的问题，您可以了解如何(how to restore Downloads and other user folders)在 Windows 10 中恢复“下载”和其他用户文件夹。
如何在Windows 10中更改(Windows 10)Microsoft Edge下载位置
如果您的C:驱动器上的空间有限，下载许多文件可能会占用过多的系统磁盘空间并降低Windows 10的速度。在这种情况下，最好让Microsoft Edge将下载的文件保存在不同的驱动器或分区上。首先，打开 Edge(open Edge)，单击或点击“设置和更多”（...）(“Settings and more” (…))按钮，然后从下拉菜单中访问设置。(Settings)
访问设置(Access Settings)以更改Microsoft Edge默认下载位置
在左侧面板中，单击或点击下载(Downloads)- 如果您看不到面板，请最大化窗口或按左上角的汉堡包按钮，在设置(Settings)旁边。在右侧的Location下，您可以看到Microsoft Edge 下载(Downloads)文件夹的路径。单击或点击它旁边的更改按钮。(Change)
更改Microsoft Edge默认下载位置
提示：(TIP:)或者，您也可以通过在Microsoft Edge地址栏中插入edge://settings/downloads并按键盘上的Enter来访问(Enter)下载设置。( Downloads)
Microsoft Edge会启动一个名为(Microsoft Edge)Location的对话框。浏览(Browse)您的 Windows 10 PC 或设备，选择要保存文件的文件夹，然后单击或点击底部的“选择文件夹”按钮。(“Select folder”)
选择一个新的下载位置，然后按选择文件夹(Select Folder)
从现在开始，Microsoft Edge将下载文件放在你指定的新文件夹中。
保存下载时启用Microsoft Edge提示
Microsoft Edge将文件自动保存到你指定的默认位置。但并不是每个人都希望将连续下载保存在同一位置。最重要的是，并不是每个人都支持自动下载，这些自动下载不提供事先重命名您保存的文件的机会。幸运的是，您可以通过将Microsoft Edge设置为在下载前询问每个文件的保存位置来避免这些问题。
首先，通过将edge://settings/downloads粘贴到地址栏中或按照上一章中的说明进入下载设置。(Downloads)然后，启用“询问我如何处理每次下载”(“Ask me what to do with each download”)选项旁边的开关。
激活选项以在下载文件时获得提示
以下子章节向您展示了在启用此选项时使用Microsoft Edge保存文件时会发生什么，以便为您提供更好的想法。
如何在 Edge 中保存文件？
如果Microsoft Edge设置为在保存文件之前提示您有关位置，则每当您触发下载时，窗口底部都会显示一条通知。我们使用媒体创建工具(Media Creation Tool)来说明这一点。按窗口底部的另存为按钮，选择不同的下载位置。(Save as)
选择另存(Choose Save)为以设置下载的特定位置
浏览(Browse)到所需位置，根据需要重命名文件，然后按保存(Save)。
单击(Click)或点击保存(Save)以下载文件
如果您决定改为使用默认位置，请单击或点击选项 (...)(Options (...))，然后从后续菜单中选择保存。(Save)
选择(Choose)将文件保存在默认位置
就是这样。文件将保存到您指定的位置。
您(Did)是否修改了Microsoft Edge下载位置？为什么？
我们通常更喜欢自动下载，因为它们更有效。但是，有时我们要保存大文件或想要将下载文件分开到单独的文件夹中。这时可以方便地修改Edge下载位置并选择另一个文件夹。那你呢？您(Did)是否更改了Microsoft Edge下载位置？在下面的评论中告诉(Tell)我们您的原因。
How to change the Microsoft Edge download location -
When you download files, the new Chromium-powered Microѕoft Edge saves them in a default folder called Downloads. However, it’s easy to change the Microsoft Edge download location in Windows 10 to another folder of your choosing. Furthermore, you can also enable an option that lets you save files in specific locations. Read this guide to find out how to view your downloads, change the Microsoft Edge download location, and decide how your files are saved:
How to view downloads in Microsoft Edge
By default, Microsoft Edge places all your downloaded files in a default folder, called Downloads, located inside your user folder. The exact path in File Explorer is “C:\Users\your_name\Downloads” - where “your_name” is the name of your Windows 10 user account, as seen below.
The Microsoft Edge default download location
However, the Downloads folder is also used by other apps to save files in Windows 10. If you only want to view Microsoft Edge downloads, it’s easiest to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + J inside the browser.
The Downloads tab opens, offering a clear overview of the files you downloaded. On the left, you can also sort them by type to find them more easily.
In Microsoft Edge, view downloads by pressing Ctrl + J

How to change the Microsoft Edge download location in Windows 10
If you have limited space on your C: drive, downloading many files may take up too much system disk space and slow down Windows 10. In that case, it’s a good idea to have Microsoft Edge save downloaded files on a different drive or partition. To begin, open Edge, click or tap on the “Settings and more” (…) button, and access Settings from the dropdown menu.
Access Settings to change the Microsoft Edge default download location
In the panel on the left, click or tap on Downloads – if you can’t see the panel, maximize the window or press on the hamburger button on the top-left, next to Settings. On the right side, under Location, you can see the path to the Microsoft Edge Downloads folder. Click or tap on the Change button next to it.

TIP: Alternatively, you can also reach the Downloads settings by inserting edge://settings/downloads in the Microsoft Edge address bar and pressing Enter on your keyboard.
Microsoft Edge launches a dialog box called Location. Browse through your Windows 10 PC or device, select the folder you want to save files in, and then click or tap on the “Select folder” button at the bottom.
Choose a new downloads location and press Select Folder
From now on, Microsoft Edge places download files in the new folder you specified.
Enable the Microsoft Edge prompt when saving downloads
Microsoft Edge saves files automatically to the default location you specified. But not everyone wants consecutive downloads saved in the same location. On top of that, not everyone is on board with automatic downloads that don’t offer the opportunity to rename your saved files beforehand. Luckily, you can avoid these issues by setting Microsoft Edge to ask where to save each file before downloading.
First, go to the Downloads settings by pasting edge://settings/downloads into the address bar or by following the instructions in the previous chapter. Then, enable the switch next to the “Ask me what to do with each download” option.
Activate the option to get a prompt when downloading a file
The following subchapter shows you what happens when saving a file with Microsoft Edge while this option is enabled to give you a better idea.
How do I save a file in Edge?
If Microsoft Edge is set to prompt you about a location before saving files, a notification appears at the bottom of the window whenever you trigger a download. We used the Media Creation Tool to illustrate this. Press the Save as button at the bottom of the window to choose a different location for your download.
Choose Save as to set a specific location for your download
Browse to the location you want, rename the file if you want, and then press Save.
Click or tap on Save to download the file
If you decide to go with the default location instead, click or tap on Options (...), and then choose Save from the subsequent menu.
Choose to Save a file in the default location
That was it. The file is saved to the location you specified.
Did you modify the Microsoft Edge download location? Why?
We usually prefer automatic downloads because they are more efficient. However, there are times when we have large files to save or want to separate downloads into separate folders. That’s when it comes in handy to modify the Edge download location and choose another folder instead. What about you? Did you change the Microsoft Edge download location?
