Have the download function of files allow you to select the destination
Currently files are downloaded only to the DOWNLOAD folder. Allow a save as function / select download location.

Unfortunately because of changing priorities, this feature was moved to the backlog. The team hopes to pick it up again in the near future.

So, the priority is on making colorful and blurry backgrounds over being able to simply select a download location and name the file? That's just completely ridiculous. This is CX 101.

Absolutely no reason for this still be an issue. It was first reported on May 2017. Come on MSFT!

I can't believe this is not a standard part of the 'save as' function.
If you want to download a file from teams it stands to reason that you want to put it somewhere *specific*

Absurd that a 'save as' function is not available by default. Adding this feature is a no-brainer.

Skype has the same shortcoming that used to frustrate me. Please add this feature. Make it an option in the settings panel like a browser. Two options: 1. Set your default folder 2. Prompt me where to save each time I am asked to download a file.

I thought apps like this were supposed to make my life easier. Without the option to download files to where I need them to be causes a lot of extra work. Please fix this!

Most of apps allow to change the download location or show a popup asking for download folder.

It is a so BASIC feature I just can't believed that it is not available until I read this.

Downloading especially large files from TEAMs is a nightmare! No progress indication, no location choice. You don't even know if its working until the file is complete. Please fix this.

Please add this, this seems so basic!
This should be included asap as part of the next rollout. How can this be pushed back? Business users need this! -

How on Earth could this be on the 'Backlog', a junior developer could code this in a couple of hours and save collectively thousands of hours of lost productivity. Seriously, when are you going to get on this?

They need to talk to the MS development team in 1996. They surely know how to enble a "choose folder" option.

Oh yeah, I forgot that Autocorrect (which is in every other MS product) is also not implemented. Does the Teams product development team even use their own product??
