Feature Request: Display Open/Save As option for files just like old Edge/IE
When opening files from websites, display the Open/Save As UI just like the old Edge instead of downloading the files like Google Chrome. Liked the old Temporary Files folder that IE/Edge managed...
Nevermind, I think I answered it myself after thinking about it, you are asking for the "Open" option that appears so that you can open the file without having to pick a place to save it permanently.
Aaron44126 Yes. Also, IE and Old Edge download those files to a temporary folder and clean it up automatically on a schedule (I think).
CodeDJ Also note, in Windows Storage Sense settings (Settings -> System -> Storage -> "Change how we free up space...") there is an option to clean files out of the "Downloads" folder automatically if they have been there longer than a set number of days.
- Hey CodeDJ, Aaron44126, The ASk me everytime setting will just pop open a file dialog. We currently do not have anything similar to the current version of Edge's Open where the file is downloaded to a temporary directory. I have sent your feedback on to the people who own this feature. Thank you for taking the time to offer us your feedback, please keep it up.
Thank you,
Elliot
