I would like to change the default file saving location for Missive on Mac?

When downloading attachments Missive offers two options:

  1. Download: Downloads directly into your system’s default “Downloads” folder
  2. Save as…: Asks you where you want to download and will remember the location the next time

When double-clicking on an attachment, Missive downloads the attachment in a TMP folder provided by your system. Something like:

/private/var/folders/vs/4cfg6_bd3vgcx3l_r272_m9m0000gn/T/missive/medias

It is possible to open a file without it being on your system. If you right-click on the attachment and choose Open original, it will open it with your web browser. That’s the only way not to download it on your system. Your browser might automatically download some files, but that’s up to your browser.

Can’t find your answer?
