Hi. I've been wondering this for about 10 years. I've got heaps of games through GOG, but the GOG Galaxy client doesn't give ANY indication where these download to.

I've read on these forums that it downloads to the game folder into a directory called "Downloads", but if I manage my Cyberpunk installation, there is no downloads folder. I mean, all of my downloads for GOG either go to c:\gog games or e:\gog games\, no downloads folders in any of them either

I feel this would be an easy problem to solve if only the 'goodies' in GOG Galaxy told you what the file names of the goodies were, and I could search my file systems..... but NOPE! It doesn't do that well either.

However, it seems that these actually land in C:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\!Downloads by default. Of course! the program files (x86) folder - a deprecated system managed folder that shouldn't have any user facing content downloaded to it under any circumstances! Why didn't I think of that?

So now I know, you know too. Maybe one day GOG will make this information available through the client, or prompt users for the location that these should download to.

Most programs on a Windows PC, certainly if it only has one drive, either download to a sub-folder of the program folder or to a similar location in AppsData ... one of those two defaults. So it isn't abnormal for the Goodies to go to where you said.

However, Galaxy should provide an easy method to open that location. Does it do that, and in a fairly clear manner? Been a while since I last used Galaxy.

And usually in settings, a program will allow you to set another default location for data downloads. Does Galaxy provide that?

I am certainly aware that Galaxy always downloads to your OS drive, and then as part of the install process relocates your game files to the base folder you have specified (maybe on another drive or partition) or to the default location if you haven't changed it from that.

No doubt somebody with more Galaxy experience will reply shortly and explain it all.

GOG Galaxy 2.0


Is supposed to let you Control where your Games Download to.
--- If you did not Set that up?
--- I would think they go into the Game Folder of your GOG Folder.

If they do not go there? Then you may have changed it's location in the GOG Settings.

The Download Location is also Customizable, as well as the Extras Locations, too.

Settings > Installing, updating > Other downloads folder

In the download section there is a folder icon that will open the folder it downloaded to.
