Latest reviews

• (2023-12-19) Kyle McCoskey: The extension works great, I am having an issue where it is saving the files in a folder titled "null" rather than the destination I entered of "Quotes". Apart from that, it works perfectly.
• (2023-07-19) danteasy: The idea is great. Unfortunately, the extension isn't working
• (2023-06-23) Riaz Ali: Here's my router config, I collected filetypes from Everything Search and filesamples.com (great site to test downloading different filetypes): [audio]/ 8svx|aac|ac3|aiff|amb|amr|ape|au|avr|caf|cda|cdda|cvs|cvsd|cvu|dts|dvms|fap|fla|flac|fssd|gsrt|hcom|htk|ima|ircam|it|m1a|m2a|m3u|m4a|m4r|maud|mid|midi|mka|mod|mp2|mp3|mpa|nist|oga|ogg|opus|paf|prc|pvf|ra|sd2|sln|smp|snd|sndr|sndt|sou|spc|sph|spx|tta|txw|umx|vms|voc|vox|w64|wav|wma|wv|wve|xm [archive]/ 7z|ace|arj|bz2|cab|gz|gzip|jar|r00|r01|r02|r03|r04|r05|r06|r07|r08|r09|r10|r11|r12|r13|r14|r15|r16|r17|r18|r19|r20|r21|r22|r23|r24|r25|r26|r27|r28|r29|rar|tar|tgz|z|zip [document]/ chm|csv|cxx|djvu|doc|docm|docx|dot|dotm|dotx|hpp|hxx|mht|mhtml|odp|ods|odt|ott|pdf|potm|potx|ppam|pps|ppsm|ppsx|ppt|pptm|rtf|sldm|sldx|thmx|txt|vsd|wpd|wps|wri|xlam|xls|xlsb|xlsm|xlsx|xltm|xltx [code]/ bat|c|class|cpp|cs|css|go|h|htaccess|html|ini|java|js|json|kml|lua|php|pl|py|rb|sh|sql|swift|vb|yaml [image]/ ani|apng|bmp|bpg|cr2|cur|dds|dng|erf|exr|fts|gif|hdr|heic|heif|ico|jfif|jp2|jpe|jpeg|jpg|jps|mng|nef|nrw|orf|pam|pbm|pcd|pcx|pef|pes|pfm|pgm|picon|pict|png|pnm|ppm|psb|psd|raf|ras|rle|rw2|sfw|sgi|svg|tga|tiff|wbmp|webp|wmf|wpg|x3f|xbm|xcf|xpm|xwd [video]/ 3g2|3gp|3gp2|3gpp|amv|asf|avi|bdmv|bik|d2v|divx|drc|dsa|dsm|dss|dsv|evo|f4v|flc|fli|flic|flv|hdmov|hevc|ifo|ivf|m1v|m2p|m2t|m2ts|m2v|m4v|mjpeg|mkv|mov|mp2v|mp4|mp4v|mpe|mpeg|mpg|mpls|mpv2|mpv4|mts|mxf|ogm|ogv|pss|pva|ram|ratdvd|rm|rmm|roq|rpm|smil|smk|swf|tp|tpr|ts|vob|vp6|webm|wmv|wtv [unity]/ unity|unitypackage [torrent]/ torrent [ebook]/ azw3|epub|fb2|lrf|mobi|pdb|snb [font]/ cff|dfont|otf|pfb|ps|sfd|ttf|woff
• (2022-06-21) Rony Kurnianto: This is one of the extensions that can prevent me from using Firefox as my main browser since there is no extension that can AUTOMATICALLY route download based on file type in that browser, at least not yet
• (2022-06-21) paul gerry: It still works as advertised, but the instruction is fairly difficult to understand. A casual user like me has to do some trials and errors before eventually understand how to use the extension. Great job, anyway.
• (2022-06-13) BD Web Foundation: Great extension
• (2021-09-14) Martin Rudat: Renames (some?) files based on their mime type, not their original extension. eg. .some-random-application-specific-extension gets renamed .json, because that's the kind of file it is... but it won't work with the correct application because you've lost the metadata that says which application should open the file. Appears to work as advertised otherwise.
• (2021-07-22) Sergiy Tytarenko: Unfortunately, this chrome extension is changing file extension. For example, .CSV files may change extension to .TXT or .XLS while the content stays CSV.
• (2021-02-10) Jean-Michel Meyer (Li-An): My first review for a Chrome extension! This is a great extension. I was searching for something like this for images (like the old "save images in folder" in Firefox) and Downloads Router manages all files you like. And domain! Too bad there is no more development. We all need a backup setting button :-)
• (2021-02-06) Derek Chaplin: It's annoying to configure currently, but it could save a lot of time in the long-run. The main thing I wish for though is the compatibility to also define certain sections of a domain to work for routing through the referrer as well. For example places like 4chan have all the boards on the same subdomain but each board has its own section, like /a/ and /g/. So I'd like that kind of addition to this. Although the bitbucket link to this doesn't seem to exist anymore so I might just have to make this change on my own end to get it to work like that.
• (2021-01-13) Francesca G: It works perfectly and it is easy to understand even for non-super techies like me. Very useful to organize your download folder if, like me, you often download files from the same sites.
• (2021-01-06) Laz from Budapest: Works fine but the instructions are difficult to understand. Tip: do NOT include the full path in the "Destination folder". So, for example, if the default download location set in Chrome is "C:\Downloads", and you want to create a rule to save all files with the word "monkey" into "C:\Downloads\Animals\Mammals", then create a rule as follows: Filename: "monkey" Destination folder: "Animals\Mammals" Hope this helps others out.
• (2020-12-24) Tay and Elaina: 4 stars. Love it. Would be 5 stars if it accepted wildcards MIME types such as "image/*" and "video/*"
• (2020-12-22) juan lopez: wow
• (2020-12-10) Joshua Kisb: Unnecessarily complicated. would be very easy to improve some of the pain points mentioned in many other reviews that've been there for years. drop down for mime, auto subdomain or wildcard, subfolders based on name, etc etc. Needs improvement
• (2020-11-14) Dave Devoll: Have been using for years in Chrome. Just installed in the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser, and it's working perfectly so far. An export/import feature would've been nice (I had to copy/paste all my mappings) but considering the time this saves me, not a big deal.
• (2020-09-26) Макс Пушкин: Неработающая шляпа.
• (2020-09-14) Bryson Ewell: It works great, but it occasionally resets all of its data (likely after a chrome update). This makes it a bit of a pain to use as you have to re-setup everything every few months. It is 5 stars otherwise.
• (2020-07-11) Robert Chapin: Does nothing. Downloads follow my Chrome settings no matter what I do in this extension.
• (2020-04-01) Doc Cool: Lange nach gesucht und endlich gefunden. Nachdem ich von Firefox zu Chrome gewechselt bin, nervte mich extrem, dass sich in Chrome die Downloadpfade nicht gemerkt werden und ich jedesmal durch den Explorer klicken muss. Jetzt kann ich nach Domain, Filetype, Dateiname/Endung das Downloadverzeichnis vorbelegen. Das ist jetzt sogar noch besser als in Firefox, auch wenn es anfangs ein bisschen Verwaltungsarbeit macht. Die Oberfläche ist aber übersichtlich gemacht und auch die richtigen Tipps (mit mklink) werden da gleich angezeigt. Kompliment an den Programmierer. Alles richtig gemacht!
• (2020-02-10) Flackon INC: Just awesome!!! Can I download to any folder outside my Downloads folder? For example, I want to download to ~/xyz_site_downloads [Using MacOS]
• (2019-08-13) Arseniy P: not working in mobile chrome(kiwi browser, yandex browser...) wanted autoroute xxx content in smartphone. kiwi asked where to save for new downloads image/video. and download into default folder anyway -( my rules by names. 480P --> video/xxxmp4, (m=* --> xxxpics. its not worked( need to try video download addons with autoroutes path folders in abylities/options. many addons this type norm+- working in mobile chrome. even without context menu/right click in mobile chrome.
• (2019-05-16) Pedro Aj: Tried everything I could come up with but just could not get this extension to work. Always downloads the files to the default folder or asks me where I want it. A few examples would be great (filename, filetype, etc), otherwise it's useless.
• (2019-01-30) Clip board: Gutes Programm aber mir fehlt die Funktion zu exportieren oder zu importieren
• (2018-12-04) Does not work completely. Even with a basic rule with just a keyword.
• (2018-09-14) Raule Blanko: Does not work with referrer domains
• (2018-06-26) L S: all i want to do is route a specific file type to a folder but it doesnt seem to work and the instructions are so confusing :( the file type is ".phz"
• (2018-06-03) Doug Belchamber: Great little plugin, with good docs. Works very well :-)
• (2018-05-20) M O Kaiser: Awsome! I love it
• (2018-03-21) Pak U Tube: it isn't working anymore
• (2018-01-22) Александра Нев: Wonderful application, it took some time to adjust the settings but the result is 100% worth it! A possibility to import and export the rules would be very useful however. Просто потрясающее приложение, понадобилось некоторое время, чтобы все настроить, но результат стоит того 100%!
• (2018-01-21) FoXSempai: Extreamly handy extention, thanks!
• (2017-12-28) Cinique LeNoir: It's a fantastic extension, but it needs improvements. - An import/export settings feature - the ability to automatically create folders - dropdown options for mime types
• (2017-12-26) Djanilson Alves: It's amazing BUT... should have a method of exporting the settings, since I already had to change the machine 2 times since I knew this extension and had to reconfigure everything (T.T)
• (2017-11-25) at sh: I only used one configuration to enable download to souce domain folders just to give a try and after working with it for a week, I found that it is the best to organize downloads.
• (2017-10-18) Wolf: I can begin to express how much I love this, would it be possible for an extension to create a folder? I was thinking per-site subfolder of an already matching rule.
• (2017-10-08) Rabinoperra: as always, i love this add and is the only reason to stay in chrome. but it will be a HUGE improvement to have an export settings button. PLEASE include this feature in the nearly future
• (2017-08-28) Dormidont Evlampiy: I make a rule (eg, images to save in "downloads/images" folder), but sometimes I want several images to go to some other folder (eg. B folder, save as...) and it always opens IMAGES folder, not the last chosen. That irritates.
• (2017-07-27) Dan Leyzberg: Great extension! Took a while to debug, but works like a charm now! A tip I discovered -- one way to get around the fact that you can only route to a subfolder of your browser's download folder, without having to clutter your downloads folder with a bunch of symlinks, is: 1. Set Chrome's downloads folder to be your root (i.e., "C:/" on Windows or "/" on Mac), or your Users folder. 2. Add all the rules you want. 3. As the last rule, add a filename of .* which matches all filenames, and enter your usual downloads folder as the destination. This way, if none of your rules are matched, your file will go to your usual downloads folder. No symlinks necessary! My only question is -- is there a way to match all subdomains? I want to route everything from *.example.com, because the site I'm using changes its subdomain based on server. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this. Also, another tip, to match TV shows, you can use the expression s\d\de\d\d which matches anything of the form: S01E01 or s04e10.
• (2017-05-16) tronbin tron.tron.: sometimes non-working on japanese operating environment.
• (2017-05-10) Fabián Valencia: UBER COMPLICATED!
• (2017-04-07) 佐藤太郎: 正直英語だからかなり使いづらい。だけど、まあ簡単な使い方ならグーグル翻訳でだいたい分かるからそれだけでも十分使える、と思う。
• (2017-03-24) The only thing I'm missing from this extension is a simple import/export rules option. (Though given the date this was last updated, I don't hold my hands high in anticipation of seeing this feature soon, if at all. :)) Five stars because the extension itself is really reliable and easy to set up otherwise, so thanks!
• (2017-03-18) Warmuser: Works great, but conflict with the "No More Duplicates" extension.. Please, fix these problem! :) Does not route any files after the latest chrome update!!!
• (2017-02-15) NANDHA GOPAN: Needs Improvement, But Still Giving It 5 Stars Because Its An Absolute Necessity For Me And There's Nothing Else Out There That Does This... A Drop Down Menu with All Possible MIME Types And Suggestions For Rules Is The Next Most Important & Required Feaature, Since It'll Make Rule making Easier... Also, Interface Needs Bit Of Improvement...
• (2017-02-15) bonobo: Not the best, because if i for example want to download from site that has different hyperlink after domain and obviously I can't name them all. So if you can fix that it would be 5 star

• (2021-01-24, v:0.8.1) Seamas Herron: supported mime types
  Are "application/gzip" mime types supported? When i use the keyword and domain filter, the download routes to the correct folder, however the file extension is .txt When I use the mime type filter, the file is not detected and goes to the default chrome download folder. The files I am downloading are .tar.gz, so I added "application/gzip" filter, and also "application/x-tar" just to test, and neither worked.
