How Do I Locate Downloaded Files on My Computer?

Answer

When you download files from your LearningZone or other websites, they typically download into your laptop or computer's Downloads folder.

On Windows:

  • If you are using a Windows device, open File Explorer and click on Downloads to locate your file.

Alternatively:

  • Google Chrome: Click on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and select Downloads, or use the shortcut Ctrl + J. From the Downloads view, search for your file and click the folder icon next to it to open its saved location.
  • Microsoft Edge: Click on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner, select Downloads, or use the shortcut Ctrl + J. Once in the Downloads panel, find your file and select Open folder to view its location.

On Mac:

If you're using a Mac:

  • Open Finder and click on Downloads in the left-hand menu to locate your file.
  • Safari: Click on the Show Downloads button (a downward-facing arrow) in the top-right corner of the browser. Once you locate the file, you can right-click on it and select Show in Finder to view its saved location.
  • Google Chrome: Click on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and select Downloads, or use the shortcut Cmd + Shift + J. From the Downloads view, find your file and click Show in Finder.
