  • Question
    What is the computer directory and how to find my pictures?
    Community Answer
    The computer directory is where all your files are found. If the photos are downloaded, they should be in a folder called “downloads.” If they were manipulated in any software on your computer, there should be folders created by the various programs, and those would either be found within application files or your documents.
