I want my files to download to my HDD instead of my SSD, how do I do so?

I found in 'Settings' that the 'Storage' tab had some options to change it however even with HDD set to download location (for files, photos, etc.), my documents were still being downloaded to my SSD.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Open file explorer. It should show all the libraries including the downloads folder. Right click it, properties, location tab. Also the web browser has it's own setting and you could just change that.

I would suggest you also move the other libraries to your hdd since you are already there.

Could you tell me how to do this? Is it as simple as copying 'Downloads' to my HDD and deleting the original copy?
