Use the recover to same folder option and the file should appear in your downloads folder (and ready to use in an un-sandboxed environment). You need to recover the download, and to do so click on Default box > Quick Recovery. It won't be visible in your Downloads folder in Windows Explorer if you do so because the download is isolated in the sandbox. Now let's say you want to download an executable file or any other file in Sandboxie. You can even open links from any application (email, chat, etc) through a sandboxed browser, though you will need to tinker with the program's settings to achieve this. Note: This is not the same as browsing anonymously, if you need that you should go with a VPN or use Tor. It is recommended to clean the sandbox once in a while to start with a fresh one. You can use the 'Default box > Delete contents' option to delete the entire sandbox and start afresh. Your default browser, regardless of whether it is Firefox, Chrome, Edge or another will open like it always does. Right click on the system tray icon and select Default box > Run Web Browser.

The most commonly sandboxed program is the web browser.

You can use any of these to run Sandboxed versions of your programs. If you have installed Sandboxie, you will see the icon on the desktop, start menu and system tray.

Some programs may not work with Sandboxie if you try to install them directly inside the sandbox. You can run any program that you have installed in Windows inside Sandboxie this also works with portable apps and regular files (that open in other programs). In fact, I would recommend beginners skip the UI and use the tray icon. You don't even need to familiarize yourself with the interface to use the program. In other words, you will learn how to use Sandboxie for browsing securely, downloading files and recovering them, and installing/running programs inside the sandbox. We are not going to discuss that here, rather we're going to look at the basic usage of the program.
