Microsoft Edge allows users to choose the location where downloaded files will be saved on their computer. You can select a default download folder or choose a specific folder for each download. It helps to improve productivity and efficiency when managing downloaded files. You can segregate the download folder per needs.
Microsoft Edge allows saving the downloaded files in the Downloads folder in the system. You can change the default download location to some other drive or folder.
You can also enable the option within the Edge to choose the location to save the downloaded files. This option will help you choose different locations whenever you download the file.
Manage the Download Settings

menu for options. - Select Settings from the list.

Bottom Line
Sometimes you may need to change your download location for various reasons. In such cases, one should know that Microsoft Edge has an in-built feature that lets you change the download location per your requirement.
Unfortunately, the Edge on the Android phone does not have such an option since the default download folder is set to Downloads in internal storage.
I hope you find this feature to choose the new default download valuable location in the Microsoft Edge browser and teach a close one to use.
