    Target folder of automated file downloads


    I sometimes get notifications that an app is automatically downloading files.

    First of all, I know what this Windows 10 feature is and I know how to turn automatic file download and/or the notifications for it on and off.

    In the notification I also see the file name and the application that initiates the download in my case iTunes.


    But what I don't know is where the downloaded files are downloaded/stored to.

    Is there a way to see the target location e.g. target folder where files are automatically downloaded to? If not that would be a real cool feature: click on the notification and instantly see what files are downloaded and where they are downloaded to.


    Please be advised: I am NOT talking about file downloads in the browser. I am talking about automated file downloads described here:

    Automatic file download notifications in Windows 10 microsoft.com

    But in my case it is not OneDrive, but iTunes.

    And iTunes is only downloading as soon as I attach my iPhone to my PC, thus, I'd like to know where these downloads are stored to.

    :)

  2. Downloaded files disappear


    When you download a file through any browser, there's an option somewhere to 'Open Containing Folder.'

    In Windows, to find a file you have downloaded...

    1. Open your personal folder by clicking the Start button and then clicking your user name at the top of the Start menu's right pane.
    2. Double-click one of the following folders:
      • Downloads
      • Documents
      • Pictures
      • Videos
      • Music


    If you do not see the file you are looking for, but know its file name, you can search for it by following these steps:
    To search for a file you have downloaded...

    1. Click the Start button
    2. Type all or part of the file name into the Search box.
      The file you are looking for will appear in the list of results.
