  1. Question about autodownloading specific file types to specific folders


    I download videos from online and images and also free ebooks from places other then just amazon. So here is what I want to know. If all the videos I download are .MP4 can I have them automatically download into a specific folder inside downloads. And do the same for other file types. Example anything .MP3 would go into a Sound folder or Music folder inside downloads folder and .JPG would go inside a folder called images and then ebooks or files with .PDF could automatically go into a folder called .PDF. And so forth is this at all possible in the windows 10 settings some where or inside of firefox or with a firefox addon. I was just wondering and if it is possible please tell me how.

    :)

    File Explorer will not read a specific folder after update to 1903 from 1809.

    File Explorer will not read a specific folder after the update to 1903 from 1809.

    I open "File Explorer", scroll down to the folder in question, left click on the folder, the contents (files) display for about 2 seconds then the folder closes and "File Explorer" also closes.



    I have tried to rename it but get the same results.

    I have checked the Property(security) with that of folder close by and it is the same.

    I have deleted the original folder and created a new folder but with the same results.

    Opening other folders with "File Explorer" is no problem, just this one specific folder.

    Any suggestions or a possible fix.

    Save to pdf to a specific folder

    Thank you Rakesh. I am responding to your reply because I received an email noting that I had not marked my question as answered or not. I remember that prior to the Windows10 upgrade, I was able to save my print pdf to a specific folder. With the new
    upgrade, I can no longer have this option. I see you are suggesting that I post in another forum to suggest this. I honestly wish I didn't have to go and find another forum to make this suggestion. Perhaps I will also suggest that data from the questions
    be used to figure out users needs or perhaps a quick link to the suggestions page can be integrated on these forums ---- another suggestions. lol.

  4. Question about autodownloading specific file types to specific folders

    How to sync specific file folders?

    I should point out that you can sync files from your PC that are in a specific folder and they will transfer over.



    However editing and then resyncing never updates the file in that specific location(at least in my experience). It does however, create the file in the Douments folder for your device and it is updated there but because it is NOT in the original folder,
    I find it inconvenient.



    I always tend to manually resync files that are important to me and use a special way to rename files so I know which is the most up to date version
