Ok. I am going to simplify things here. Your computer name is technically the very top of the hierarchy And Macintosh HD is the overall hard drive. You can save to the Macintosh HD itself, but your home folder, which is the one with your name, is really the place to start. Unless you are using iCloud Drive, I’d use the Sidebar in the Finder save dialog and select the folder specifically in your home folder, such as documents or Downloads. Once you select specific folders, they should appear in the drop down menu of folders. You can then use that its a quick way to alternate between commonly used locations.
