Hi,

Running Mojave.

Something changed, as up until perhaps a few months ago, I did not have this problem.
I do not think it happened when I switched to Mojave, but perhaps.

Anyway, I go to Google photos, open up some image, and do the conventional SAVE on the screen that comes up.
Give the photo a name
Tell it to save to Desktop.

Pretty straightforward except the photos, never now, seem to appear there, on the Desktop.

With a lot of searching, I can usually find them in my Home Folder.
Sometimes, they don't even seem to show in the Finder.

Can anyone please explain to me what is happening ?

At one point, I thought they were going Directly to iCloud, but I have just
totally signed out of anything having to do with iCloud.
OR, at least I think I am signed out for iCloud. Hope so.

Thanks,
Bob
