2. 2Choose a folder on your computer, or create one in the same window.
3. 3That's it. Future saves go to that folder.

Which Browsers Work?

It works in Chrome, Edge and Opera. Those browsers can remember the folder you picked.

What About Safari, Firefox and Brave?

They can't remember a folder. In those browsers, a save becomes a normal download, and you choose where it goes each time. Brave blocks folder saving on purpose, for privacy, even though it's built on Chrome's technology. If you want the one-time folder, use Chrome.

Is My Folder Stored on Your Servers?

No. Your browser keeps the folder choice for itself. It's meaningless outside the browser you picked it in. So use the same browser next time, and pick the folder again on another computer.

Does This Replace Autosave?

No. Everything you type still saves to your account automatically. Your computer folder is an extra copy. See Autosave and Save to Your Cloud.

Can I Use iCloud?

Yes, in a roundabout way. See How to Keep Your Book in iCloud.
