**NOTE**: For security reasons, Chrome doesn't allow extensions to do certain things, such as choosing arbitrary download locations or disabling the "save as" dialog. But you can do it! I believe in you! Just read on.

How to use, step-by-step:
1. In the extension's settings page, set up a list of folders. These will appear on your context menu so you can download stuff directly to them.
2... Uhh, that's it.

** FAQ **

* How do I download to locations outside the default downloads folder?
You just need to set up symlinks (for more info, just head to the settings page after you install the extension).

* How do I get rid of the "save as" dialog?
Just head to your browser's preferences and disable this feature.

* I find this extension so outrageously stupid. What should I do?

Caesar Augustus Ashbar 2022-05-16: Well, it works, but only if you want to have less than fourth destinations. From the fourth on, the tiny options screen doesn't scroll down so you can't configure any path or alias.

Rei Onami 2021-09-25: Simple and convenient better than other similar but does not always save to the correct folder and not always an image, but which file without expansion

Matt Martigan 2021-07-23: Great extension! Works great most of the time. I've had a few instances where it saved the file without a file type. Needs custom hotkeys!

Seth Greene 2021-02-04: Sorta works in Vivaldi. Getting failed html files in the Download manager. Symlink points to another drive, which may be a problem.

Doggy Woof 2019-12-18: Unfortunately it has two big problems that prevented me to use it: (i) doesn't work saving images whose URLs contain dynamic parameters after the filename (e.g. site/image.jpg?width=1500 , which are common on ArtStation and Squarespace-based websites), and (ii) no ability to export/import your path configuration (I have many paths that need to be re-typed manually every single time I install Chrome or if it crashes/resyncs)

Michael Aaron 2019-04-16: Still shows the annoying Save As dialog, which I was hoping to eliminate just for saving images... I still want it for everything else. Useless.

Kendall Aaroneaux (Phantom) 2018-10-03: I really like stuff like this! I'm not sure if this is possible but it still pulls up the folder just to save it. Is there a way to just have it save as soon as you click on the folder name?

Daniel Schmid 2017-09-06: Apparently only works when the target folder is in the Downloads-folder of your windows system. This isn't mentioned in the description. It's useless to me this way.

Paulo Alberto 2017-06-19: It's Great! But it would be better if had the option to save without ask for confirmation.

Joshua Chang 2017-03-31: 很棒的工具這工具只能下載到Chrome預設下載資料夾下的任何子資料夾，要突破這項限制請使用mklink Example for Windows mklink /j C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\Pictures C:\Users\YourName\Pictures 設定路徑填入 "Pictures/" 即可直接下載到C:\Users\YourName\Pictures下面

proto “protospork” spork 2016-09-12: Doesn't work at all. Doesn't work with windows-style paths. Doesn't work with unix style. Doesn't work with "/", the path the locations menu explicitly said would be equivalent to the downloads folder itself. The error message that comes up every time is "invalid filename", which makes me wonder if there's some sort of secret filename syntax required to actually save an image. This extension comes with no documentation in any form, so I guess we'll never know.
