Downloaded clip does not appear on my computer

đź’» Environment/Context

  • Portals 
  • Downloading from a portal 
  • Clips
  • Missing download file

 

 

âť“ Issue/Question

  • I have downloaded a clip, but I can't find it under downloads on my Mac.
  • You download a clip from a portal and the file does not appear in your Downloads folder.

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • Check the browser rather than the folder
    • Open your browser's downloads list to see whether the file completed 
    • The browser may be set to save to a different folder than Downloads
  • Start the download again from the portal
    • Open the portal and go to your notification page
    • Start the download again and confirm the file appears in the browser's downloads list
  • Try a different browser if the file still does not appear

 

 

🔖 Notes 

  • A repeated download attempt has been enough to resolve this, in both Safari and Chrome 
  • If the file never appears in the browser's downloads list, reach out via the Live Chat with the portal and the clip concerned
