Does anyone have a scenario that lets Workfront save a file to your local desktop or network?

Hi,

You will not be able to let Fusion write to your local file system directly. 

What you can do is to use a cloud service like Google Drive, Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive, connect it to Fusion and let it write into that. As all those services have native clients which integrate into your Windows Explorer / macOS Finder, your could easily access those files.

Another approach could be to have a local webserver serving a webhook or a local (S)FTP-server to receive files. But the setup is much more difficult and time consuming.
