PowerBI learning module 11 of "Get Data in PowerBI": https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/get-data/lab-prepare
I have followed the instructions but the data file will not download in the virtual / lab machine, but only on my local drive. When I go to do the exercises, I can only access the drives in the virtual machine, which are empty. I have done the following:

Signed in
Clicked on "Download Lab Files to D:\ drive" and got the "Success" message
Attempted to do the following:
"Get started with Power BI Desktop
To complete this exercise, first open a web browser and enter the following URL to download the zip folder: https://github.com/MicrosoftLearning/PL-300-Microsoft-Power-BI-Data-Analyst/raw/Main/Allfiles/Labs/01-get-data-in-power-bi/01-get-data.zip
Extract the folder to the C:\Users\Student\Downloads\01-get-data folder.

Open the 01-Starter-Sales Analysis.pbix file."
However, it does not download within the virtual / lab machine but only on my local drive, so I can't continue with the lab within the virtual machine. How to save it within the virtual machine or allow the virtual machine to access my local drive?

I have also tried to to paste the URL for the files to the browser in the VM. I have copied the URL but when I right click to paste in the VM browser, the paste option is not available, and Ctrl + V doesn't work either. It also doesn't let me delete or overtype the URL in the VM browser.
