Can we make print button to download in particular folder instead of downloading in downloads folder?

Hi @AP_10343008 ,

If you want to save file to thingworx repository, you need to let users input "repository name", "path" and "file name" in Mashup, and under the hood trigger a custom service that executes functions like below that takes the user input to save file to specified destination.

 

Things["<RepositoryName>"].SaveBinary({
 path: undefined /* STRING */,
 content: undefined /* BLOB */
});

 

If you want users to download to local PC and specify target folder, users need to change the settings in browser as mentioned by Velkumar

Hi @AP_10343008 

 

You can change download folder option in browser

I don't think you can control it in widget level.

    That is common for every operation. 
    I want to store file in repository when user clicked thingworx button widget, Apart from this activity, user can decide folder location for other browser related downloads. I want both to be two different locations independently.
