Where is my CSV?

Where is my CSV?

Ok, I did my MLS search and have the properties I want to place into a Listing Chart. I exported the CSV file, but I can’t find it.  


Answer:  

This is not something that Listing Charts controls. It is a function of your browser. Each of the major browsers are set up with a default location for all files you download or ‘export’ to your computer. Here are the default locations:

 

 

Chrome

As of mid-January 2026 using a desktop Windows or Mac, by default Chrome saves downloads to your “Downloads” folder:

    - Windows: C:\Users\<your username>\Downloads

    - macOS: /Users/<your username>/Downloads

If you want, you can customize the download location.

    1. Open Chrome Settings

    2. Go to Downloads

    3. Change the default location (e.g. Desktop).

 

 

Firefox

As of November 2025 using a desktop Windows or Mac, by default Firefox saves downloaded files to your system’s standard “Downloads” folder — for example:

    - Windows: C:\Users\<your username>\downloads

    - macOS: /Users/<your username>/Downloads

If you want, you can customize the download location.

    1. In Firefox click Menu () Settings (or Preferences on some platforms)

    2. Under General → Files and Applications, look for the Downloads section

    3. You’ll see either:

      1. ‘Save files to:’ and the folder Firefox uses. Change it to your preference (e.g. Desktop)

      2. ‘Always ask me where to save files.’ Tick this if you want to choose on every download.

Safari

As of late 2025 using a desktop Mac, by default Safari saves downloaded files to your Downloads folder in your user home directory (e.g., ~/Downloads).

If you want, you can change this (or have Safari ask you where to save each file) by going to:

    1. Safari → Settings/Preferences

    2. Click the General tab

    3. Find File download location
