Where is the folder for files downloaded from Telegram?

In life, we deal with various files and data every day, either by downloading or transmitting. In this case, having a secure communication application is very important. Telegram not only provides a secure and efficient chatting experience, but also supports file downloading, allowing users to easily access and transmit various files and data. But where are the files downloaded from Telegram stored?

I believe many users encounter a common problem when downloading files using Telegram, that is, they are not sure which folder the downloaded files are saved in. In fact, the storage path of files downloaded from Telegram is not fixed, but varies according to the user's operating system and settings. Below, we will introduce it according to different operating systems.

Where to Find Telegram Downloads in Android and IOS Operating Systems

Usually, two settings in Telegram directly affect the direction of file downloads, such as: media downloads and saving to images or photos.

After using media downloads, files will be automatically downloaded to the Telegram application. Once the file is received by Telegram, it will be displayed automatically, without the need for you to click to view it. However, it is important to note that these files are only accessible within Telegram. If you want to view them in the photo gallery application or file management, you need to manually save them.

If saved to the gallery or photos, the files you download will be automatically saved to your phone. You can easily find these photos in the gallery application or the photo application, but it is important to note that even if this setting is enabled, other file types still need to be manually downloaded to the phone.

Where are Telegram Downloads on PC?

If you have downloaded files in the PC version of Telegram, you can find the downloaded files by following these steps:

1. After opening the Telegram application in your PC, go to the chat box where you received the file.

2. Right-click on the received file on the page and select 'Show in folder' to find the file you received. For example, visit the 'Downloads' folder in the 'Telegram Desktop' folder. Or, go to C:\Users\[Your Username]\Downloads\Telegram Desktop.

3. If you cannot find the downloaded files in these folders, right-click on the file again and select 'Save as' to choose the location where you want to save the file.

Where to View Files Downloaded with Third-Party Clients

If you use a third-party client to log in to your Telegram account during the usage of Telegram, where are the downloaded files saved? Generally, if files, images, or videos are downloaded on the mobile side, they will be directly saved to the mobile's gallery. However, if it is a document, it will be saved in a specific location in Telegram.

For example, with Turrit this third-party client, you can directly find the 'Settings' option in the software, and then click the 'Data and Storage' button in the settings interface, find the 'Save to Gallery' option, and then enable the categories of photos and videos you want to save.

In conclusion, the location where Telegram downloads files is different due to the use of different devices. If you want to know the specific storage location after downloading the files, you can also check the specific storage path in the settings. I hope that the above introduction can help you easily find the files downloaded in Telegram.
