默认情况下，您从Web 浏览器(web browser)下载的任何内容通常都会转到您计算机上的“下载”文件夹(Downloads folder)。无论您运行的是什么操作系统(operating system)，这几乎都是正确的。
大多数人将使用默认位置(default location)进行下载，但在某些情况下更改此文件夹可能会有所帮助。例如，如果您正在下载多个大文件，并且本地磁盘上没有足够的存储空间(storage space)，您可以将文件下载到外部硬盘驱动器或网络驱动器(network drive)。
在本文中，我将向您展示如何更改所有主流浏览器的默认下载文件夹位置(default download folder location)。每个浏览器都不同，每个浏览器都有不同的选项。
谷歌浏览器
在Chrome中，单击窗口右上角的设置图标（三个垂直点）。
然后单击菜单列表中的设置(Settings)。
一直滚动(Scroll)到底部，然后单击“高级(Advanced)”链接。
再次向下滚动，直到看到“下载(Downloads)”标题。继续并单击更改(Change)按钮并选择一个新位置。如果您需要将不同的下载文件保存到不同的位置，请确保切换下载前询问每个文件的保存(Ask where to save each file before downloading)位置选项。
微软边缘
对于Microsoft Edge，您单击具有三个水平点的按钮，然后单击设置(Settings)。
右侧会出现一个滑动菜单。(sliding menu)向下滚动(Scroll)，直到看到查看高级设置( View advanced settings)按钮，然后单击它。
向下滚动到下载(Downloads)部分。单击更改(Change)按钮并选择新的下载位置。您还可以切换是否希望Edge询问您每次下载的保存位置。
IE浏览器
如果您仍在使用 IE，则需要单击齿轮图标，然后单击查看下载( View Downloads)。
将出现一个弹出窗口(popup window)，列出所有当前或以前使用 IE 下载的内容。单击(Click)左下角的选项链接。(Options)
单击“浏览(Browse)”按钮更改下载文件夹的位置。
苹果浏览器
在Safari(Safari)中更改此设置非常简单。单击(Click)顶部菜单栏中的(menu bar)Safari，然后单击Preferences。
在“首选项”(Preferences)对话框中，确保您位于“常规(General)”选项卡上。在底部，您会看到文件下载位置(File download location)。
如果单击该下拉菜单，则可以选择“其他”以选择另一个文件夹。如果您想要每次下载的选项，您也可以选择每次下载都询问。(Ask for each download)
此外，默认情况下，Safari会保留您一天内下载的所有项目的列表。您可以将此设置更改为Safari 退出(When Safari quits)时、成功下载时(Upon successful download)或手动(Manually)。
Safari中另一个有趣的选项是下载后打开“安全”文件(Open “safe” files after downloading)选项，通常默认选中该选项。Safari假定安全项目是图片、电影、PDF文件等，但我觉得这很冒险。我建议禁用此选项，因为除了使您的计算机更容易安装恶意软件或病毒之外，它实际上没有任何有用的目的。
火狐
最后，我们有Firefox，这可能是最容易进行更改的。只需单击右上角(Just click)的三个水平条按钮，然后单击Preferences。
接下来，在“常规(General)”选项卡上，单击“将文件保存到( Save files to)”旁边的“选择”(Choose)按钮，然后选择不同的文件夹。
与所有其他浏览器一样，您可以使用Firefox作为您单独保存每个下载的位置。这就是本教程的内容。享受！
How to Change Default Download Folder Location on Any Web Browser
By default, anуthing you download from a web browser will normally go to the Dоwnloads folder on yоur computer. This is pretty much true regardless of the оperating system уoυ are running.
Most people will use the default location for downloads, but there are instances where it might be helpful to change this folder. For example, if you are downloading several large files and you don’t have enough storage space on the local disk, you can download the files to an external hard drive or to a network drive.
In this article, I’ll show you how to change the default download folder location for all the major browsers. It’s different for each browser and each browser has different options.
Google Chrome
In Chrome, click on the settings icon (three vertical dots) at the top right of the window.
Then click on Settings from the menu list.
Scroll all the way to the bottom and then click on the Advanced link.
Again, scroll down until you see the Downloads heading. Go ahead and click on the Change button and pick a new location. If you need different downloads saved into different locations, then make sure to toggle the Ask where to save each file before downloading option.
Microsoft Edge
For Microsoft Edge, you click on the button that has three horizontal dots and then click on Settings.
A sliding menu will appear on the right-hand side. Scroll down until you see the View advanced settings button and click on that.
Scroll down to the Downloads section. Click the Change button and choose a new location for the downloads. You can also toggle whether or not you want Edge to ask you where to save each download.
Internet Explorer
If you’re still using IE, you need to click on the gear icon and then click on View Downloads.
A popup window will appear that lists any current or previous downloads using IE. Click on the Options link at the bottom left.
Click on the Browse button to change the location of the downloads folder.
Safari
Changing this setting in Safari is pretty straight-forward. Click on Safari in the menu bar at the top and then click on Preferences.
On the Preferences dialog, make sure you are on the General tab. Towards the bottom, you’ll see File download location.
If you click on that drop-down, you can choose Other to select another folder. You can also select Ask for each download if you want the option for every download.
Also, by default, Safari keeps a list of all the items you have downloaded for one day. You can change this setting to When Safari quits, Upon successful download or Manually.
Another interesting option in Safari is the Open “safe” files after downloading option, which is normally checked by default. Safari assumes safe items are pictures, movies, PDF files, etc, but I find this pretty risky. I recommend disabling this option as it really doesn’t serve any useful purpose other than making your computer more prone to malware or virus installations.
Firefox
Lastly, we have Firefox, which is probably the easiest in terms of making the change. Just click on the three horizontal bars button at the top right and then click on Preferences.
Next, on the General tab, click on the Choose button next to Save files to and select a different folder.
As with all the other browsers, you can have Firefox as you where to save each download individually. That’s about it for this tutorial. Enjoy!
