Downloaded file cannot be seen in File Explorer, despite being there.

Hey @antspants , yes I physically moved those folders to a separate drive using the Location feature. Why? Because collectively they're 455GB.
Mainly to prevent data loss in case of catastrophic boot drive failure. Also to keep my Macrium backups to a reasonable size.

I dual boot with 23H2 and it uses the same Library folders as 24H2.

I do the same, my user folders combined are over 1TB.
Not criticising at all in case it read like that, Scott
Just making clear the difference between Library Shortcuts and Physical Folders, for anyone that might find their way here..

Anytime you cannot find a download or any file, you can search for it and it will show you the path where it really is. It probably differs from the Library you saved it to.
