Windows 10: video downloads required to be placed in "Videos" folder

When downloading a video (mp4) using either Firefox or Chrome, regardless of what folder I indicate for saving, up comes a message requiring the video be placed the the "Videos" folder under "This PC".


What can I do to force placement in the folder that I select rather than in the "Videos" folder?

Moved a folder from another drive and rename and it still shows as the old folder name in certain places

Hi Nick,

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check the behavior.

• Create a new folder name it as 'My Videos'.
• Now copy/cut and paste the contents which are in the folder "Videos", and delete the folder "Videos".
• Now check the behavior.

Please keep us updated with the status of the folder, to assist you further.

Regards,

 

Place video and images in different folder? N73

Unfortunately, some software designer decided that it would be better for users to see all videos and images in one long list no matter where they are, and then require you to use the "Album" feature to organize them.

In other words, the Gallery simply ignores different folders and shows everything in a long list.

There's nothing you can do, except use a different app.

I can only hope that the behaviour returns to something more sensible in future devices.

To Include folders using Manage Library Tools, we suggest that you perform the steps below:

• In File Explorer, select or open a library (ex: Videos) you want to include a folder or drive to.

• Click on the Add button
• Browse to and select a folder or drive that you want to include in this library, and click on the Include folder button.
• When finished, click/tap on OK.

Keep us updated with the result.
