I think it means to the file system. As in they only ever exist inside the browser sandbox in memory. This should be completely safe.

So you don't have to download them and drag to the browser. It requests the data and processes it in the browser environment.

Then IMO, it should say is something about saving the content client side.

I think the term downloading does imply that tbh. But i get your point.
