Is there a way to get the Downloads Folder Location of the browser?

I have the same question (1)

    If it is a custom folder set in your browser, you would need to use scripting to get the settings. Instead, I would recommend making your browser always ask for where to save a file, and then automate the "Save As" window user interface. This will allow you to set the directory where you want to save your files.

    Hi @SeanLin 

     

    I recommend instead of using the default Downloads folder, you can set your own download path as well

     

    For that you need to do a small setting in you browser, Go to the settings and search for option "ask where to save file before downloading"

     

    The above enabled means whenever you want to download the file, it will display a SaveAs box there you can set your path where to save, but here you need to give entire path including the file name and the extension

     

    Eg: D:\Test.xlsx  

     

    Below is the screenshot of the SaveAs and you need to type the full path with extension in the highlighted area
