My work isn't saving to my folder

In the Claude desktop app, the Cowork tab saves your work into a folder on your computer. If nothing's showing up there, try these:

Check the folder is still connected. Open Cowork and confirm the folder you picked is still the one in use. Updates sometimes disconnect it, and reconnecting takes a few seconds.

Check you can save to that folder. Try saving any file there yourself. If you can't, pick a different folder.

Restart after switching folders. If you changed folders, quit and reopen the app.

Working in a regular chat instead of Cowork? Claude hands each piece to you as a download rather than saving it to a folder, so keep those files together.
