After many, many years on Windows, I am on Day 4 of my transition to MacOS. It's been a bit of a rocky road so far. Some things I have figured out, some I've accepted will not work the way I'd like and much more to learn and adapt to.
My question for the group today deals with downloading files from the internet and saving them directly to my NAS. Something I do on a regular basis and was rather easy on Windows. When I try to do so on my Mac (using Safari) I cannot browse to the NAS. I have multiple directories on the NAS, the Mac currently sees two, but not all. I've attached a screenshot showing a sample download window. Under the Recent Places at the bottom, it shows two of the NAS directories, Xfer & Kevin. I wanted to download the file to a different directory. I tried to cancel the download, open the NAS directory I am after in Finder and redownload, thinking the act of opening the directory in Finder would add it to the Recents list. That did not work. Related, I had not been in the Xfer directory today.
My searches for a solution all dealt with not being able to connect to the NAS at all. I am able to connect and move files there once I download them locally, but I'd much rather download them where I want to in the first place. As I type this out, I also want to download them into sub-folders on the NAS. I really hope I am missing something simple and I will not need to download locally and then move each time.
