Is there a way to stop downloads from automatically saving to the computer?


I usually rename the file and save it to the cloud.


It would also be nice if the download automatically opened, is this possible?


Thanks in advance

Thank you for your advice dialabrain.

You're welcome

I reviewed my settings. I had/have the Open "safe" files after downloading. It doesn't seem to open them regardless.

There's some criteria that determines what is considered "safe". Some things will open, some things not. Personally I don't use Safari often and Firefox, which I normally use, doesn't have the option at all.
