I'm sure this is a stupid question BUT - where do these files go when I download them?

Sorry Pros - absolute dufus here when it comes to the Unity Envirosphere…

So - I have an account on Unity. I open Unity. I open the Asset Store window. I purchase or download an asset. My options are: Download or Import.

I select download and the UI smiles back at me with a green button when it’s done downloading. Where are these files? How do I make them a permanent part of my Unity instance/environment/application?

I select Import and it imports the files to the project I have open… but I really don’t want or need them in that project - I just wanted to add that “plugin” to my tool set.

I’m used to something like buying a plugin for 3DS Max - downloading the plugin and then installing it into my 3DS Max instance. I’m hoping someone can get the gist of my question… I’m not a great explainer of things.

Thanks in advance folks!
