Downloading a file using a mac

Beth Weld All Messages By This Member #14047 Edited I just received a question from someone using a mac - how do they download a file.? Uh - I use a PC, and when I click on the file it downloads.? I have no idea how a mac processes; can you help please? Update:? I just noticed (if it makes a difference) that she wants to save to her Google drive from a Mac. Thanks Beth
Frances All Messages By This Member #14048 开云体育 Hi A Mac is just the same. I just tried (to confirm) and it goes to downloads folder. Then you can share, save, move - whatever from there.? Click on the title or if the document is in a folder, click to open the folder and click on the title of the document to download. Easy peasy! It is possible that your member may be able to share without downloading, if her computer is set up to share with her Google drive. Right click on the title. See screenshot below.

There is no definitive answer to this question.? If you click on the file name in groups.io, it will be sent as a binary data stream. What happens then depends on your OS, browser settings, what add-ons you might have installed, and even the data type of the file being downloaded. For example, I have a Chrome add-on that causes PDF files to display in the browser window instead of downloading it. To actually download I have to hover? my mouse cursor at top-right until the download watermark shows up, and click on it. At that point it will actually pop up a dialog box so I can tell the file where to go. Similarly, photos will generally fail to directly download, but instead redisplay in the browser. I have to right-click on them and do a "save as" in the resulting dialog box to actually download them. Some information on downloading with the Safari browser can be found here:? Hoping something in there helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help
