Remember, the default download location for Chrome is /Downloads on the Mac, which is the users Downloads folder in Mac OS which can be accessed from the Finder, the Dock, or through search. If you do change the directory where Chrome saves files to and wish to revert to the default setting, simply repeating the steps above and choosing the active user accounts Downloads directory will accomplish that.
If you have set your Mac to allow apps only from the App Store and you try to install an app from elsewhere, your Mac will say that the app can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store.*
Changing Where To Download On Chrome For Mac
But earlier this week, that changed. Instead of downloading the file, it opened in Preview (she's using a Mac). And instead of being able to Save As into the appropriate folder, Preview would only allow the Save function to save to the Downloads folder, and it wouldn't allow her to name the file. It basically picked an index code and used that as the file name. So for every file, she had to go into the Downloads folder, rename the PDF, and move it to where she wanted it stored.
Okay, I'm nothing if not creative. If changing the Download PDFs setting didn't fix my wife's problem with downloading PDFs, perhaps it was the default application. Perhaps if I changed the default application for PDFs from Preview to Chrome, the PDFs would open properly in Chrome.
You see where it says, "Open certain file types automatically after downloading"? I had never seen that option before. In fact, I looked on all my computers, and it's not there. You get to it by clicking Settings->Advanced->Downloads. Just for completionist's sake, I did a Google Image search, and posted screenshots of the Advanced->Downloads options that don't show "Open certain file types automatically after downloading". They only show two options: Location and Ask where to save each file.
If you prefer Chrome to ask you where to put files each time, you can turn on Ask where to save each file before downloading. This option is suitable if you save your files in different locations all the time. And if you want to improve your experience further, try these Google Chrome tips that will boost productivity.
Open the Chrome app on your phone and tap on the three-dot menu to bring up the dropdown. Go to Downloads > Settings (Cog Icon) > Download Location to set the new download location of your choice. Here, you can also tell Chrome to ask you when and where to save files each time.
Whether you are on your PC or smartphone, Chrome gives you the option to save files wherever you want. By following the two methods mentioned above, you can easily set the download location that you prefer.
Like Safari, Chrome has its own Downloads section. Select Window in the Chrome menu bar and then Downloads. Alternatively, typing "chrome://downloads" into the address bar displays the same content. Chrome Downloads displays a list of downloaded files organized by most recent download. Selecting Open downloads folder displays the Downloads folder in Finder. Similar to Safari, selecting Clear all wipes the downloads list from the Chrome browser but does not delete the files from Finder.
Select Safari in the menu bar, choose Preferences and then select General. Next to the Save downloaded files to option, select the drop-down menu and click Other to display a Finder window, where you can select any folder or external drive as a new destination for files downloaded in Safari.
Select Chrome in the menu bar and then Preferences to open the Chrome Settings page. Scroll down and select Show advanced settings, then the Downloads category. Click the Change button to open a Finder window, where you can change Chrome's download destination. To be able to choose a destination folder for each download, enable the Ask where to save each file before downloading box.
Once a file has been downloaded, you will be able to see it at the bottom of the browser window. If you want to open a file that you have previously downloaded, press Ctrl + J or type chrome://downloads in the Chrome address line. The Downloads list is displayed.
2. Go to General, then to Downloads, click the Browse button, then select the folder where you would like the files to be downloaded and click on Select Folder.
