The Microsoft Edge is now based on Chromium, by default it saves all the downloads in the “Downloads” folder on C:\ drive. You will not face any problem until you have a drive with huge empty space.
But in case you have low space on the local C:\ drive then you will start seeing notification related to low space and after that when you will try to download any new file, it will give error. And it is not always a good idea to store all downloaded files on the C:\ drive because many times our system gets affected with Viruses and malwares then we will need to format entire C:\ drive, so we lost the downloaded files.
So, if your PC has more partitions other than main drive, you should move download folder to other drive in new Chromium based Microsoft Edge Browser. For this, you will have to follow these easy steps:
