I want to change where files download on my Mac. I used to be able to set this but now I can't find the setting.
Storing documents locally or in cloud services from within Teams

Just create a symlink using the Terminal, this works fine.
Go into the directory:
cd /Users/<YOUR_USER>/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.teams2/Data/
Delete the folder:
rm -r Downloads
Create a symlink:
ln -s ~/Downloads .
Allow Teams to write into the Downloads folder, when downloading a file
Honestly this is trash.
Microsoft do better.
Someone provided an answer for people whos downloads werent going to their downloads folder but there still isnt the option to choose where to save a file each time you download. The fact this feature still isnt available is crazy. It was available with old teams... How hard could it be to add this?
Use simple MacOS Automator to move any files downloaded to /Users/"username"/Download to wherever you want.
This turned out to be the ideal solution, since it fixed similar issues I'm having with other applications (e.g., AirDrop). Thanks for sharing!
Yep this is unforgivable.
