How to change google chrome download location
To modify the location of your downloads now, just open the Chrome browser on your Chromebook. I verified this in both the Chrome OS 89 Stable Channel and Chrome OS 91 Dev Channel on different devices. They’re now in the Chrome browser settings. I believe at some point last year the user-customizable setting for the default download location was moved out of the Chrome OS settings. Previously, he had them stored automatically in Google Drive and with the Chrome OS 90 Beta Channel he’s using, that’s no longer happening. The specific issue this reader was having is that when using the Screen Capture tool in Chrome OS, his screenshots and videos are being saved to his Downloads folder. Here’s how to change the Downloads folder to Google Drive or another location on a Chromebook. However, as Google continues to break apart Chrome OS and the Chrome browser, that method no longer works. In the past, you could modify this in the Chrome OS settings. I got an interesting email question from a reader this weekend having to do with changing the default location where files are downloaded on a Chromebook.
