# Saving documents

It is also possible to save a single file by clicking on the *download* icon ![](/files/-MFUsylAfN3dbso-tnGG) to the right of the filename, or to download a specific directory by clicking on the *Save (ZIP)* icon ![](/files/PK6Cj1iaqgka2rnTYJip) to the right of the directory listing. The briefcase icon ![](/files/-LH9D65sBOHV2XkeW28k) allows users to copy a shared file into their private file area in the *social networks* area (see chapter 35).
