# Download Directory

The Download Directory is the path where KONNEKT saves files to, that the user wants to recover. 

The typical use-case is, that an error happened during the transfer of a file to SharePoint Online. In this case KONNEKT will show an error in Windows File Explorer. One option for users is to "[export file to download folder](https://docs.konnekt.io/troubleshooting/how-to-deal-with-error-s)".

You can find more about handling errors [here](https://docs.konnekt.io/troubleshooting/access-token-issues/error-message-about-missing-token).

## Default location

The default location for the Download Directory is `%USERPROFILE%\Downloads`.

## Set by user

Users can change the location manually in the preferences dialog, as long as the policy is not set.
