(*10*)

Una de las mejoras a las que con el tiempo nos hemos acostumbrado a utilizar Windows, es la oportunidad de guardar imágenes, videos, documentos y descargas por defecto en la carpeta localizada dentro de nuestra cuenta de Username, de esta dinámica siempre tenemos a mano todos estos archivos de la sección de favoritos del browser. Personalmente, nunca me he acostumbrado a utilizar la carpeta Descargas para almacenar todo el contents que descargo de Internet, given that over time it can be one of the directories that occupies the most space on my hard drive, especially when I download large files.

En particular, siempre he preferido realizar todas las descargas en el escritorio de Windows, para que una vez haya acabado lo que tenía planeado hacer con la descarga, lo guarde o lo elimine para que no ocupe espacio en nuestro disco duro. Si se ha acostumbrado a utilizar esta carpeta, probablemente le be útil, pero si no solo le gusta la ubicación donde está, en la barra de favoritos del navegador you can delete it from there (it won't be erased from the hard drive) and put a shortcut on your desktop.

But if your hard drive space is very tight because it is an SSD drive, you probably have another hard drive for both of you. download content to store. In this circumstance, the best thing you can do is change the location of the Downloads folder so that when you are forced to download a lot of content, the downloads do not stop due to not having enough space on the hard disk.

Modify the download folder location

• First we go to the Downloads folder, located in the browser's favorites section.
• We go to the icon and press the right button to enter the properties.
• Now we go to the Location tab, select Move and establish the new unit or route where we intend to store all current downloads and those that will be made in the future.
