Where to find Safari’s downloads list
A few readers have asked about the downloads list in macOS Safari—in particular, how to find it when the button is missing and where to find entries for older downloads.
While it seems like a simple matter of clicking a button and scrolling, Apple added some sophistication that has tripped people up. In earlier versions of Safari, the Downloads button was always present and all previous downloads appeared in a list. You could click a button to clear the list or use other history-wiping tools to erase it.
In the most recent Safari releases for OS X and macOS Sierra, the Downloads only appears when there are items in a list, and you can choose to age out the entries.
Safari lets you expire the downloads list in three ways, or keep it around until you opt to clear it.
In Safari > Preferences, the General tab offers Remove Download List Items as a pop-up menu with choices of After One Day, When Safari Quits, Upon Successful Download, and Manually. While I don’t recall ever changing this option, it’s set to After One Day on my main computer; Apple may have chosen that for us as an option when the item was added as a preference.
Thus, if you have any of the options except Manually checked, the Downloads button will routinely disappear. If you’re relying on that list as a record of what you’ve downloaded in the past, make sure the option is set to Manually.
This has something to do with privacy, of course. By dumping the list routinely or in certain cases, Apple ensures that less information about your behavior gets retained for later examination—although if someone can get close enough to my machine to check out my Downloads list, they’re also likely to be able to access my Downloads folder.

Introduction
Whether you’re a seasoned Mac user or new to the world of macOS, finding and managing your downloads is an essential skill. With the abundance of files we download every day, it’s easy for them to get lost in the shuffle. Thankfully, there are several methods you can use to locate your downloaded files on your Mac.
In this article, we will explore various ways to find and manage your downloads on a Mac. From checking the Downloads folder to using search functions in browsers and accessing download histories, we will cover all the bases. So, if you’re ready to take control of your downloaded files, let’s dive in!
Before we begin with the different methods, it’s important to note that the steps provided in this article are based on the latest versions of macOS and popular web browsers such as Safari, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. If you have an older version of macOS or a different browser, the steps might vary slightly.
Now, let’s explore the multiple approaches you can take to easily locate and manage your downloaded files on your Mac.
Checking the Downloads Folder
One of the most straightforward methods to find your downloaded files on a Mac is by checking the Downloads folder. When you download a file, it is often saved to this default folder unless you specify a different location.
To access the Downloads folder, follow these simple steps:
- Click on the magnifying glass icon in the top right corner of your screen to open Spotlight Search.
- Type “Downloads” in the search bar and press Enter.
- The Downloads folder will appear in the search results. Click on it to open the folder.
Alternatively, you can also access the Downloads folder through the Finder:
- Open a Finder window by clicking on the Finder icon in your Dock or by pressing Command + N.
- In the left sidebar, you will find a list of shortcuts. Click on “Downloads” to open the folder.
Once you have accessed the Downloads folder, you can browse through the files and organize them according to your preference. You can also use the search bar at the top right corner of the Finder window to locate specific files by name.
It’s important to periodically clear out your Downloads folder to free up storage space on your Mac. You can do this by selecting the files you no longer need and dragging them to the Trash or by right-clicking on the files and selecting “Move to Trash.”
Remember that files in the Downloads folder are stored locally on your Mac’s hard drive. If you delete a file from this folder, it will be permanently removed from your system unless you have a backup. Therefore, make sure to double-check the files you are deleting to avoid losing important data.
Using the Finder Search
If you are unable to locate a specific file in the Downloads folder, you can use the Finder search function to quickly find it. The Finder search allows you to search for files based on various criteria, including file name, file type, and date modified.
To use the Finder search to locate your downloaded files, follow these steps:
- Click on the search bar at the top right corner of the Finder window. This will activate the search function.
- Type in the name or a keyword related to the file you are looking for. For example, if you downloaded a Word document, you can type “.docx” to filter for that file type.
- As you type, the search results will automatically update to display the matching files. You can further refine the search results by using the options provided below the search bar, such as “Kind” or “Date Modified”.
If you still can’t find the file you’re looking for, make sure to check that you haven’t accidentally selected a specific location within the Finder search parameters. You can do this by clicking on “This Mac” under the search bar, which will search your entire computer instead of just a specific folder or location.
The Finder search function is a powerful tool that can help you quickly locate and retrieve your downloaded files. It’s especially useful when you have a large number of downloads or when you need to find a specific file among multiple folders and locations on your Mac.
By mastering the Finder search, you can save time and effort in searching for your downloaded files, allowing you to focus on your tasks and projects without the frustration of manually browsing through folders.
Searching in Safari

The download history in Mozilla Firefox provides details about each downloaded file, including the file name, file size, and the date and time it was downloaded. This information can assist you in quickly identifying and managing your downloaded files.
Note that the download history in Mozilla Firefox retains a record of your downloads even if you have deleted the downloaded files from your computer. Therefore, you can still access the history of your downloads, even if the actual files are no longer present in your system.
By navigating through your download history in Mozilla Firefox, you can easily keep track of your downloads, locate specific files, and take appropriate actions to manage and organize them according to your preferences.
Using Spotlight Search
If you are using a Mac, one powerful tool at your disposal is Spotlight Search. This built-in feature allows you to search your entire computer, including your downloads, with just a few keystrokes. Using Spotlight Search can save you time and effort by quickly locating specific downloaded files.
Here’s how you can use Spotlight Search to find your downloaded files:
- Press Command + Spacebar to activate Spotlight Search.
- A search bar will appear in the center of your screen.
- Type in the name of the file you want to find or related keywords.
- As you type, Spotlight Search will start displaying results in real-time below the search bar.
- Look for the “Documents” category in the search results and click on it to expand.
- Scroll through the search results to find the downloaded file you are looking for.
- Once you locate the file, you can click on it to open it or access its location in Finder.
Spotlight Search is incredibly versatile, allowing you to find files across your entire Mac, not just in specific folders. This makes it an efficient way to locate downloaded files, even if you don’t remember the specific location where they were saved.
Additionally, Spotlight Search also supports advanced search operators, such as file type filters (e.g., “kind:pdf”) or date filters (e.g., “created:yesterday”). These operators can help you narrow down your search results and find your downloaded files more quickly.
By leveraging the power of Spotlight Search, you can effortlessly locate your downloaded files, saving yourself the time and hassle of manually searching through different folders on your Mac.
Using Terminal
If you’re comfortable working with the command line interface, you can utilize Terminal to efficiently locate and manage your downloaded files on a Mac. Terminal provides a powerful way to interact with your system and perform various tasks, including finding specific files.
Here’s how you can use Terminal to search for downloaded files:
- Open Terminal on your Mac.
- Type the following command and press Enter: cd ~/Downloads
- This command will change the working directory to your Downloads folder.
- Next, you can use various commands to search for files, such as:
- ls – Lists all the files and folders in the current directory.
- ls -l – Lists files and folders in a detailed format (including permissions, size, and modification date).
- ls -a – Lists all files and folders, including hidden ones.
- find . -name "filename" – Searches for a file with a specific name in the current directory and its subdirectories. Replace “filename” with the actual name of the file you’re looking for.
Using Terminal gives you precise control over your search commands and allows for advanced filtering and sorting options. It’s particularly useful when you need to perform complex searches or when you’re familiar with specific Unix commands.
In addition to searching for files, Terminal also allows you to perform various file management operations, such as moving, copying, deleting, and renaming files. This gives you full control over organizing and managing your downloaded files directly from the command line.
Remember to exercise caution when using Terminal, as commands can have significant system-level effects. Double-check your commands before executing them, especially when deleting or modifying files, to avoid unintended consequences.
By leveraging the power of Terminal, you can efficiently search for and manage your downloaded files on your Mac, taking advantage of the flexibility and control that the command line provides.
Locating and managing your downloaded files on a Mac is vital for staying organized and accessing important documents, media files, and more. In this article, we explored various methods to help you find your downloaded files effectively.
We started by checking the Downloads folder, the default location where downloaded files are often saved. By accessing this folder, you can easily browse through your downloads and organize them as needed. Additionally, we explored how to use the Finder search function to search for specific files based on criteria such as file name and file type.
We then delved into searching for downloaded files in popular web browsers such as Safari, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. Each browser provides built-in search features that allow you to search your download history and quickly locate specific files. This can be incredibly useful when you remember keywords related to the file or its name.
Moreover, we discussed how to leverage Spotlight Search, a powerful tool on macOS, to search your entire computer, including downloaded files. This method is ideal when you need to find files scattered across different folders and locations.
Lastly, we explored using Terminal, the command line interface on a Mac, to search for and manage downloaded files. Terminal offers advanced control, allowing for precise search commands and file manipulation operations.
By utilizing these various methods, you can save time and effort in locating your downloaded files on your Mac. Remember to regularly clear out unnecessary files from your Downloads folder to free up storage space and keep your system running smoothly.
Whether you prefer the simplicity of browsing your Downloads folder, the convenience of browser-specific search functions, the versatility of Spotlight Search, or the power of Terminal, there’s a method that suits your preferences and workflow. Experiment with these techniques to find the most efficient way to manage your downloaded files on your Mac.

How to Find Your Downloads on Your Mac
While browsing the web, you may download items such as documents, music, images or ebooks. Sometimes you may download apps from the Internet. When you download an item, you may be confused about where it went. I was very confused about this when I first switched to Mac from Windows. In this article, I will explain where the items you download end up on your Mac. I will also cover how you can change and customize your download settings.
What is the Downloads folder?
Your Mac has a folder called Downloads. This folder houses downloaded items, and it is located in your user account. The path is /Users/[username]/Downloads/. By default, a shortcut to Downloads will also be in the Dock and in the Finder sidebar. If you do not see the folder in the Dock or Finder sidebar, you can bring it back .
As I briefly explained above, the Downloads folder is the default location for your downloads. Below is a list of some of the items that are saved in this folder:
- Files or items downloaded from the Internet.
- Mail or Messages attachments.
- Files sent via AirDrop.
How to access the Downloads folder
There are a few ways to access the folder and locate your downloaded items:
- Dock: Your Dock lets you access the Downloads folder. Look next to the Trash icon. You will see a blue folder with a download symbol. Depending on your settings, it may also appear as a stack of items. This is why Downloads is also called a stack.
- Finder top menu: Open a Finder window, go to Go , then Downloads .
- Finder sidebar: Downloads will be available in the Finder sidebar.
- Use a Shortcut: You can also use a shortcut to launch the folder. Using your keyboard, press these keys together: Option – Command – L .
How to change where your browser saves downloads
By default, your browser, such as Chrome or Safari, will save downloads to the Downloads folder, but you can change this. Here is how:
- Safari: With Safari open, from the top menu bar, go to Safari > Preferences > General . Locate the “File download location” option. If you want to save downloads to another folder, open the drop-down menu and select Other .
- Chrome: In Chrome, select Chrome > Preferences . From the sidebar, click Downloads , then click the Change button if you want to change the location.
How to view your browser’s recently downloaded items
Safari has a download list. By default, the download list will be cleared after a day, but you can change this setting. If you want to do that, open Safari and click on Safari > Preferences and open the “Remove download list items” drop-down menu and select one of the options: after one day , when Safari quits , upon successful download or manually .
This list makes it easy for you to access your Safari downloads. It further helps you keep track of any currently downloading and already downloaded files. To view Safari downloads in Safari, click the Download button (if you do not see the button, your list is empty). The Download button is located near the top-right corner of the Safari window.
If you are using Chrome, Chrome has a similar list. To open the list of files you’ve downloaded, open Chrome, then click More and Downloads .

How to find downloads on a mac.
Lost your downloads? We'll help you find them.
Quick Links
How to find your downloads folder on the dock, locate your downloads with finder, how to find downloads not in the downloads folder, key takeaways.
Click the Downloads folder on your Mac's dock to view your downloaded files. If the Downloads folder isn't on the dock, open Finder and navigate to Users > (Username) > Downloads to find your downloads.
If you've downloaded a file through a browser like Safari or Chrome on your Mac, you might be confused about where the file ended up. Luckily, there's a typical place to look first, and we'll help you find it.
On a Mac, downloaded files are usually saved by default in a special folder called "Downloads" that is located within your user account folder. By default, macOS ships with a link to your personal Downloads folder in the dock , which is the row of app icons on the bottom or side of your screen. Look in the dock (beside the Trash) for a stack of icons or a folder icon with a downward-pointing arrow on it.
Click that shortcut, and your Downloads folder will open.
If you don't have a shortcut to Downloads in the dock, you can drag the Downloads folder from Finder to the area beside Trash to place it there. You can also change its appearance between a "Stack" and a blue folder icon by right-clicking the Downloads shortcut and using the "Display As" option.
You can also find the Downloads folder in Finder , which is an application that helps you manage files. To open Finder, click the Finder icon in your dock, which looks like a smiley face.
In the Finder Window that opens, you have several options for reaching the Downloads folder.
- The Menu Bar: With Finder in the foreground, click Go > Downloads in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
- The Finder Sidebar: In any Finder window, look in the sidebar on the left side of the window and click "Downloads" in the list of "Favorites." If "Downloads" isn't listed in Favorites, you can drag the icon for the Downloads folder into the sidebar later. Or press Command+Comma (","), click "Sidebar" and place a check mark beside "Downloads" in the list.
- By Browsing: If you want to find the Downloads folder by browsing a file path, start at your Macintosh HD root folder, then navigate to Users > [Username] > Downloads.
Once you open the Downloads folder, you'll see a group of files that you've downloaded in the past. Look through it to find the file you're missing.
If the file you're looking for isn't located in the Downloads folder and you know the file's name, you can do a Spotlight search to find it. To do so, press Command+Space on your keyboard, then type the name of the file (or part of the name) you're looking for.
If you see the file in the list of results, you're set. To show the file's location in Finder, highlight the file in the Spotlight results list and press Command+Return.
If that doesn't help, you can also use saved download history in your browser to locate the missing file. In Safari, you can see your download history by pressing Option+Command+L or clicking the downward arrow in a circle beside the address bar. In the menu that appears, click the magnifying glass icon beside a file to open its location in Finder.
If you don't have any downloads that icon will not appear, and the Option+Command+L hotkey won't do anything.
In Chrome, you can also see a downloads list if it hasn't been cleared. To do so, open Chrome and click the three dots button in the upper-right corner of any window. In the menu that appears, select "Downloads." In the Downloads tab that opens, locate the file in the list and click the "Show in Finder" link below it.
A Finder window will open pointing to the location of your downloaded file. Repeat with any other files you need to locate. Good luck, and happy downloading!

View, manage, and install add-ins for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word
When you enable an add-in, it adds custom commands and new features to Microsoft 365 programs that help increase your productivity. Because add-ins can be used by attackers to do harm to your computer, you can use add-in security settings to help protect yourself.
Note: This article only applies to Microsoft 365 applications running on Windows.

Document Related Add-ins Template files referred to by open documents.
Disabled Application Add-ins These add-ins are automatically disabled because they are causing Microsoft 365 programs to crash.
Add-in The title of the add-in.
Publisher The software developer or organization responsible for creating the add-in.

Tin just saved me like $100 wow! 👀
I recently tried out Tin, a Safari extension that's pretty much a game-changer for snagging the best online deals with zero hassle. Easy to set up and even easier to use, Tin acts like your personal bargain hunter, silently finding better prices on everything from tech to kitchen gadgets and giving you a heads-up on the savings. It's cool because it also shows the price history, helping you decide if it's the right time to buy. While it's mostly spot-on, it occasionally misses a beat, but that's a small trade-off for how much time and money it's saved me. Whether you're making big purchases or everyday buys, Tin keeps things private and secure, making it a must-have for effortless savings. Honestly, your wallet will thank you for this one.
Superb Shopping App
My friend raved about Tin, so I decided to give it a try. Within just 24 hours, I was blown away by how intuitive and helpful it is! The app is a breeze to set up, and the deals it finds are unreal. On my first shopping spree, I snagged discounts on several items that I've been eyeing for ages, effortlessly saving a hefty sum. Tin's automatic coupon feature at checkout is a game-changer – it feels like I have a personal assistant scouring the internet for the best deals, all for me. From tech gadgets to fashion finds, Tin has consistently delivered savings that make a difference. I can't recommend it enough – it's like having the inside scoop on the best sales every time I shop! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
