Downloaded documents not appearing on the downloads folder

Its macbook Air

Once I've downloaded a file or image and want to use it, I'm unable to see it in the Downloads folder. Why is that so?

Downloaded files not appearing in Finder while uploading back Say if we download a file which appears in the Downloads folder, and then try to upload it back as an attachment or on a drive, the file does not appear in the list of documents in the Upload dialog box. It only appears if one were to open the file, else one has to resort to drag and drop. Unsure why such a basic feature, of the uploads dialog box mirroring the base folder, is missing in the M2 version of Macbook Air. Anyone else facing this? Any troubleshooting tips?

“Save as” cannot save my Mac Pro will not allow me to save my current open files. Ordinarily, when I click-on “save-as”, the box (containing every doc I’ve ever saved) pops up enabling me to save my changes to any folder I want. However, since the box does not appear, I have no way to save them. I can pull up the box via “Finder” yet this doesn’t help with trying to save what I’m working on. Any suggestions?

Documents not downloading or able to save on macOS Monterey12.4 Hi Guys, every time I download a document or file like a PDF from a website (I use Chrome browser) it will download for me to open it in a new tab, but then not let me download it to my local drive and save it, its just stuck in the tab. Is there a bug? How can I fix this? Thanks, Tonia

Find a downloaded item on your Mac: Click next to the filename in the downloads list. If you move a file or change the download location after downloading it, Safari can’t find the file.
Tip: To change where downloaded items are saved on your Mac, choose Safari > Settings, click General, then click the “File download location” pop-up menu and choose a location.❞
