The Opera browser allows you to change the file download location, which can be different from the default Downloads folder. It also has a toggle switch that asks where to save the downloads whenever you download a new file.
The option to customize download settings is available under the Downloads settings section.
In this guide, I have shared written instruction about:

Bottom Line

Modern opera mini doesn’t
show pop ups and even videos and music can’t download, what’s the problem?
Opera Mini browser is a trim-down version of the Opera Mobile browser. It doesn’t support modern web technologies like interactive design, downloading, etc.; it only provides faster browsing speed.
Good & helpful, but almost every PC seems a bit different & it’s rare that step by step instructions can be followed, especially when the instruction screen disappears. Making pencil notes to avoid this is not really satisfactory. Suggest the txt layout is changed & the wordy instructions simplified.
In my case I have the default storage set for H dwnlds but the downloads are not going there or anywhere else so far as I can see??? WTF?
