Okay, then I may have misunderstood. When you said "download" I thought
you meant something from the internet.
If you want to get snapshots from your camera downloaded to your
computer, they go into the Pictures folder, unless you intentionally
tell them to go somewhere else.
And the Pictures folder shows up in Windows Explorer as an easy to find
folder.
But nothing about any computer is "intuitive" to someone who has never
used a computer before, Mac or Windows or Android or iOS.
Anything, including pencil and paper, requires learning how to use
whatever it is that you're trying to use.
And anybody who doesn't want to take time to learn how to use something
probably shouldn't be using it in the first place.
Cars are amazingly easy to use -- put the key in the ignition, turn it
so the engine starts, step on the gas and the car goes, step on the
brake and it stops. Yet everybody has to go through a rigorous training
program and testing procedure before they can legally operate a car.
Computers are more complex to use than cars, yet for some reason people
feel they should be able to turn computers on and have everything work
without any training.
I don't get it -- people should be willing to learn how to use whatever
it is they're trying to use.
