+It is important to note that your working directory will be established as the default directory. I.e, the ``data``
+directory--which files are downloaded to--will automatically be placed in this file path. Choose your working directory
+accordingly to suit your desires.

+When downloading a file from the API, different folders within the ``data`` directory will be made to better
+organize the files. See the example file path: ``data/imap/swe/l0/2024/01/imap_swe_l0_sci_20240105_20240105_v00-01.pkts``
