</info>
<title>Downloading files</title>
<p>Files which you download from the internet, such as email attachments,
will automatically be saved into your <file>Downloads</file> folder. You can
change this in the <gui>Preferences</gui>.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the menu at the top-right of the window, then select
<guiseq><gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui><gui style="tab">General</gui></guiseq>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Press the <gui>Download folder</gui> name to select a different folder
for downloads. If the folder that you want to use is not in the list,
select <gui>Other…</gui> to browse for it.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>If you want to choose which directory to use each time you download
a file, tick the <gui>Always ask where to download files</gui> checkbox.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>If you <em>save</em> a file instead of downloading it, you will still need
to specify where you want to save it to.</p>
<note style="important">
<p>It is not possible to choose where to save downloads if you are using Flatpak
to run <app>Web</app>. Downloads will always be saved in your
<file>Downloads</file> folder.</p>
