Hi,

 

I used to be able to download CSV files, but without changing anything, I can’t do it anymore.
When I select “Download CSV”, I don’t have the option to name the CSV and that made me choose the file where to save it.
I tried with different browsers, private windows, different laptops, cleaning the cache and cookies. I'm not sure what to do.

 

Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

That is only possible if you are using the Airtable desktop app. If you are using Airtable in a web browser, you are not prompted for the name/location of the CSV file.

    Interesting ​@ScottWorld. I was not aware about that (not that it makes any change for my usual builds though lol). Do you use desktop or web?

    On a different, ​@OVO Logistics you might want to submit this as a feature request using this form!
