Unable to save files to lower level folders

Finder displays all my folders and directories in various folders. When I'm online and have a file I want to download I am unable to save it to any folder below the top level. If for example I want to save something in... "Documents/Manuals/Apple" or even just "Downloads/Internet" - I cannot get to the lower levels. I have to download to the top level then use Finder to move it to the lower level folder. I know there is a simple setup problem but am unable to locate where it is...?

I'm guessing you've run into the same thing I had difficulty finding. When the save window opens there is a little triangle next to the name of the document. Clicking that triangle expands the window opening access to the finder window. I hope I understood what you were asking for....

Yeah, I think you nailed it. The "technical' term for that is the disclosure triangle. It's well hidden. It belongs next to the destination, not the file name.

Hello - as already suggested, you should be able to not only change the title of the document but the location where it will be saved - e.g. I went to the Canon website and brought up the PDF file for 'My Image Garden' (their free imaging software for the printer) - in the top image below, the title is highlighted and can be edited, if desired - by clicking the 'down caret symbol' (blue arrow), Finder is opened and migration (in two ways) can be done easily to other folders.

In addition to the replies above... all you need to do is double click on the lower level folder and a new Finder window opens in that folder. You can now drag or save to that folder.
