Hi All,

I have few doubts. Please clear them.

1. When we download any file from the default browser, where does the file get saved. I could not find the file through FileBox.

2. When we download any file from the default mail client, where does the file get saved. I am unable to find the files.


Regards
Krishna Karthik

1) /home/user/MyDocs/.downloads most of the time, if not, /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/

2) /home/user/MyDocs/Documents/


Edit: Enable showing hidden files/folders from Filebox settings if you already haven't done so...

Solution for problem 1 is fine.
For the 2nd one:
I downloaded an mp3 file from native email client. Can find that in MyDocs/Downloads or MyDocs/Documents. Any idea why?

If not, grep for the filename (if you know the filename)

Code:
find / | grep filename

FileBox only searches in the current directory. It does not search for files in the subdirectories. So it it unable to find when i search in MyDocs directory.

Did you check here: /home/user/MyDocs/Music

Or did you use the command I posted in my last post?

no need to grep find.
Code:
 find / -name whatever 2>/dev/null
should do it faster
