Use user folder path

When user folders (documents, pictures, videos etc.) are moved to a different drive, 4k doesn't follow that path, but just creates a new folder at C\Users\username\Videos. This is somewhat annoying because there are now two folders which, at a glance, appear to be the same. It also means that any videos or sound files in the actual user folder do not appear in 4k.

You need to tell 4K Downloader where the new download folder is going to be

When 4K is installed, the default folder is: C\Users\username\Videos (like you have)

If you want to permanently move the downloads folder and want 4K to use the new location, then you have to tell it where the new folder is.

Eg, say the new folder you want 4K to download to is now F:/OwnVideos (call it whatever you want)

In 4K
Paste Link
In the open window, click on Browse and select the path where the new folder is that you want to use (e.g. F:\OwnVideos) then click Save
All future downloads will now go to that folder

If Smart Mode is enabled, change the folder by using Browse at the Directory option
