[FEATURE] Allow users to configure download path for generated files

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

When Claude generates files (e.g., DOCX, XLSX, PDF), they are saved to a fixed location with no option to change the destination. Users who want files saved to a specific folder — such as a project directory or cloud-synced folder — are forced to manually move files after every download, which adds friction to the workflow.

Proposed Solution

Add a setting (in Settings > Features or similar) where users can specify a preferred default download path for generated files. Ideally:

• A folder picker to select the destination
• The setting persists across sessions
• Optionally, a per-conversation override (e.g., "save this file to...")

Alternative Solutions

Currently working around this by manually moving files after download, or using the "Save to Google Drive" option. However, Google Drive is not always preferred, and manual moving is repetitive.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Configuration and settings

Use Case Example

1. User asks Claude to generate a monthly report as a DOCX file
2. Claude generates the file
3. Instead of downloading to the default Downloads folder, the file is automatically saved to the user's designated project folder (e.g., ~/Documents/Reports/)
4. User can immediately open the file without searching or moving it

Additional Context

Most desktop applications (e.g., browsers, Office tools) allow users to set a default save location. This would bring Claude's file creation feature in line with standard UX expectations.
