Overview By default, Cosmos assets are downloaded to a local directory:   On  Windows :  C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Chaos Cosmos\ On  macOS :   /Users/[User]/ChaosCosmos/ On  Linux :  /home/[User]/.ChaosCosmos/Packages You can change this directory to a new local or network folder by updating the Cosmos Browser Settings.   Changing the download directory will not transfer all downloaded assets to the new folder. See how to move your assets at  Moving the Asset Download Directory  page. Steps Start Cosmos Browser and go to menu ●●● >  Settings.  Press the button  Change  next to the Assets Download Folder. In the pop-up window, fill in or paste the new directory path. Press the  Select Folder  button.    Now the Cosmos Browser downloads are saved to the newly specified directory.  Lock  and  Packages  sub-folders appear in it. In case that multiple users share the same network folder as the Assets Download Folder, assets downloaded by one user show as downloaded to all users.
