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.

That message is nice to see when you are downloading a file from the internet. It is very convenient so you can choose where a file is being saved, and it also allows you to see where it is going, and allows you to decide what to do with it. That was a really handy feature that I really liked in the new Edge. It really is just handy and useful, I can't really explain why, but I would definitely appreciate to see it in the new Edge.
