Provide run / open / save / save as options when downloading files - Discussion
Hello everyone,
Thanks so much for all the feedback provided regarding Open/SaveAs. We are now introducing an option for users using Edge version 87.0.629.0 and above to choose, for each download, whether they want to Open, Save As, Save, or Cancel a download. To enable this option, navigate to edge://settings/downloads and enable, "Ask me what to do with each download." Once you download a file after enabling that setting, you will have the option to Open, Save As, Save, or Cancel it. If you choose to open it directly, it will be downloaded to a temporary folder.
Additionally, we have exposed an option to directly delete downloaded files from your computer, in the browser so that you can easily clean up after downloading your files without leaving the browser.
To learn more about these features, please check out our post.
MissyQ Any progress with this feature? What is not yet understandable so we could discuss further?
- Yeah I also think it's time after all this month to wrap this topic up and post a conclusion of the feedbacks

Discuss further... you're kidding, to be sure. This issue is so clear-cut, an obvious no-brainer; doesn't need heaps of talk that hasn't, already, been well stated. Nobody wants to work or function without these standard, expected & required options for downloading (or not).
Cheers,
Drew
