How can I navigate to a specific folder for a download on a mac? Not the predetermined folders, but any folder.

When I download to a folder, there are only specific folders presented as options. I want to be able to download directly into any folder, not the download folder and not any folders they decide to present to me as a choice. I want to navigate to any folder and store the file there. The only options I have are: icloud library, Devices, Favorites, or Recent Places but I don't want to store in any of those folders. This is a major annoying flaw.

Can somebody please tell me how to get around this?

It sounds like you are only seeing the Favorites items in the sidebar of the Mac Finder application. If you select the Home folder on your Mac, you should see all of the folder locations that you have to chose from in your home directory.

If you don't see Home on your Finder sidebar, you should be able to add items to the sidebar by using the Sidebar tab within the Mac Finder app preferences.
