A file that is attached to an email is normally called an attachment. This attachment almost always needs to be downloaded first before it can be opened. If you do not pay a lot of attention, it can often happen that you download the attachment and you do not know where it actually gets saved on the computer.

Where can I find it?
If this happens, you need to search the computer in order to find the attachment. The search however is probably easy. You only need the name of the file that you want to search for in the system.
