Tried it manually and it worked. Not sure what’s the difference when I ran it
This is weird. It is now working everytime I ran it.
@caduque it’s because you saved it in required destination manually and then you ran the workflow 
, Hence default destination will be the previous selected folder
Yeah. So it was not still solved.
@caduque Yes , I think it is Still Not Solved, Need more ScreenShots of How you are Saving the File, using Type into, After Type Into Activity Put A mEssage Box to Halt the Process Just to check what is the Value that is Typed as the Full Path.
@caduque That’s Not the Way a File Path is Stored right, You can clearly See that the Path is the error,
It should be Something like this :
G:\RPA\HREmployeeRos\yourFileName
Let me try it again with the filename.
Here’s another run with the filename.
And yet it didn’t work again.
@caduque That Should have work , I will revert back after testing that case in my System
Weird thing is even though I’m in a different folder, but when trying manually, it is working.
@caduque Oh Manually, It works?
Yeah. This is weird. I will try it again using the bot and I bet that it will work this time. I will change the folder to make sure.
Oops. It didn’t work. It still saved from the previously opened folder.
Hi ,
I can solve this problem.
First Click activity to this button.
Second, Using Type into activity. But one tip for this step.
you need to use F2 to stop for 3 seconds and click file path for editable status.
and select it again.
And it should be like this.
it’s hard to screenshot… if you need a demo video, please let me know 
I have modified the Type Into activity properties in the below workflow, @caduque
Saving.xaml (12.0 KB)
Check whether its working or not 
Hello @caduque
I know this reply is one year late, but this might be usefull for other who google this.
Depending on how you set the text to the input field, windows will not detect that a change has been made. Visually it looks right, but nothing has triggered the dialog to update the real input field value. Try to send the folderpath and filename as hotkeys and windows will pick up the change.
Basically the dialog has a trigger to detect “change” but when changing the input via api (set text and so on) this will not detect the change. So you have to make the input field “dirty”. I think you can set the value as you do normally, and then send a “” with send hotkey to trigger the change.
Its similar to javascript, when a field has a validation function attached to “onKeyUp” but changing the field programatically does naturally not trigger onKeyUp and no valdiation is performed.

Hey!
Just starting to use UIPath, but the only way I could do this was the first suggestion (tweaked a bit).
I used folder selector and outputted a variable (fldrPath).
Anytime I needed to reference the folder (several times between the Browser and Excel for macros), I would use fldrPath. Since I looped through excel to find the files from the Browser to download, I used another variable (myFile)
For saving my files specifically, I used the following:
fldrPath + “\” + myFile
If you don’t use/need a second variable, then:
fldrPath + “\” + “myFile”
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the thread and to the person who asked!!
Hope this helps someone else!
