Right-click on the file

and select "Download" in the drop-down menu. This will open a dialog box "Save as", where you can specify the location on your PC.

Thanks, but the problem is

that when I download it, it goes to some other invisible drive, not my PC. Any ideas?

Obvious question...

... but have you checked your Downloads folder? That's where files default to if I download from Google Drive.

No, it's not in my Downloads folder, where I would expect it to be.

I found them on a search of my PC. It didn't even give me the path where they were located, but I was able to Save As. Thanks one and all!
