I am new to web dev and currently building a very basic page using Html/CSS and JS where users can upload the image and I can download it in my local system. But by default images are getting downloaded in the 'download' section of my desktop and I want to save them to any specific folder. How can I add this functionality?

Here for example is what I find on Edge on Windows10 when going into Settings>Downloads:
