- 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.
