Not by default. I am using the following advice (requires helm and f.el): (defvar yant/org-attach-default-source "~/Downloads/" "Default directory to attach the files from.") (define-advice org-attach-attach (:around (oldfun files &rest args) start-from-default-directory) "Look for new attachments from `yant/org-attach-default-source' directory instead of `default-directory'." (interactive (list (mapcar #'directory-file-name (helm-read-file-name "File to keep as an attachment:" :initial-input (or (progn (require 'dired-aux) (dired-dwim-target-directory)) (and yant/org-attach-default-source (f-slash yant/org-attach-default-source)) default-directory) :marked-candidates t)) current-prefix-arg nil)) (unless (listp files) (setq files (list files))) (mapc (lambda (file) (apply oldfun file args)) files)) Best, Ihor
