Where do I find my downloaded files? What is the default download location for files on Windows? Is there a fix in which I can get the files to be updated into my download folder?' I know the file has been downloaded because the computer shows space has been taken up. Nor can I find the file in the download folder. 'When I download a file in Firefox, I see that it is downloading, but when I go into my desktop, I cannot find it after it has finished the download. Q: My recent downloads are not showing in my download folder? Pres ⌘+J on a Mac > open Downloads in the web browser > check downloaded files.
Right-click your mouse and click 'View' > select 'Show desktop icons'. Press Ctrl+J to open the downloads window > click 'Show in folder'.
