However, this can be changed in the settings of the browser. Most users would want to keep their downloaded files in other drives rather than the system drive. In this article, we will provide you methods through which you can easily change the download folder for the Microsoft Edge chromium.
Changing Download Folder through Browser’s Settings
The default and easiest method to change the download directory is by using the browser’s settings. Microsoft has included an option for the download directory. Now users can change the download folder to any other folder in any drive. The interface gets updated with each version but the below steps will give you the idea about changing the download directory in Microsoft Edge chromium.
Changing Download Folder through the Registry Editor
The Registry Editor can be used to modify different types of settings for the applications. Sometimes the keys or values will be missing for that specific setting and a user have to create them manually. A wrong configuration in the Registry can cause issues for the system. However, by following the below steps, you can safely configure the download folder for the Microsoft Edge chromium. Note: We recommend that you should create a backup of the Registry before making any new changes.
Changing Download Folder through the Local Group Policy Editor
The Local Group Policy Editor is another method through which you can configure this specific setting. The settings are already available here for Microsoft Edge. Users just need to open the setting and change the toggle option for that setting. Check your “Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge” or “User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge” paths in the Local Group Policy Editor. If the setting that is used in the below method is already available, then use that and skip downloading new policy files.
