To change the default download location in Opera, you need to access the browser's settings and modify the download preferences. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Open Opera: Launch the Opera web browser on your computer.
- Access Settings: There are a few ways to get to the Settings menu:
- Using the Easy Setup Menu: Click the Easy Setup icon in the upper-right corner of the Opera window. It looks like three horizontal lines. Then, scroll down and click "Go to browser settings."
- Using the Opera Menu: Click the Opera icon (usually in the upper-left corner). Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Using the Keyboard Shortcut: Press
Alt + P(on Windows) orCmd + ,(on macOS).
- Navigate to the Downloads Section: In the Settings page, scroll down until you find the "Downloads" section. You may need to click on "Advanced" in the left sidebar to reveal the Downloads settings.
- Change Download Location: In the "Downloads" section, you will see the current download location displayed next to "Location." Click the "Change" button next to it.
- Choose New Folder: A file explorer window will open. Select the folder where you want Opera to save your downloads. Then, click "Select Folder" (or the equivalent button on your operating system).
- Verify the Change: The "Location" field in the Opera settings should now display the new download location you selected.
Opera will now save all future downloads to the specified folder. You can repeat these steps at any time to change the download location again.
