Switching drive my downloads go to?

My computer automatically saves to my C: drive when downloading. How do I get it to save to another drive?

Depending on which browser you use, the equivalent of 'Save taget as' should open a dialog where you can change the name and location of the download. Choose the folder on the other drive, and it should remember it.

most browsers let you set a default location too. have a look in your tools / settings / options menu.

Firefox and google wont let me. IE does though.

Have you even bothered to look? :rolleyes:

1. Firefox :

So in Firefox you have the option here to save all files automatically to a particular folder (which you can set to whatever you like)

OR

Have Firefox ask you each time where you would like to save the file.

2. Similarly in Chrome : Settings > Under the Hood > Downloads
