Downloads folder is the default...


you can check and see if something is usurping the Downloads...


for example OneDrive, GoogleDrive, BackBlaze, iCloud or DropBox(?)

I actually found the solution here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/View-download-and-export/How-to-stop-Airdrop-transfers-ending-up-in-Dropbox-downloads-by/m-p/682915#M45537


I did these steps and it worked for me:


1.Click the Dropbox icon in the menu bar (Mac).

2.Click the Sync and Backups tab.

3.Click Mac.

4.Click Change folders.

5.Uncheck the box next to the Downloads folder.

6.Click Save.

7.Restart your computer.
