  • (2023-03-01) Yazan Zaid: RegExp Download Organizer Does not work on edge browser. I wish you can add it to edge addons. and fully support edge browser.
  • (2022-11-01) btmad01 batmad01: not working - it works, with MIME names, it has to fellow the rules, and if u not sure the sort of files, just use its default <Application/ ****> PS *** is the file sorts. The download path has to be after the defualt download path. as C:\downloads\ , the relatively des path has to start from the <root path> of the <defualt path> for exsample, if u want torrents goes into C:\downloads\Torrents\ set the des path as Torrents/ u need to bulid and have the floder b4 u get it done.
  • (2022-09-19) Zakareya “idiot” Pittman: Some RegExp autofill/autocomplete/syntax checking would be cool. Otherwise, this extension is perfect! So glad I don't have to sort my own Downloads folder, and I have so much control over where things are saved/stored. The default filters are more than enough for the average user!
  • (2022-09-09) Tyler Cowie: Easy to use and very well made
  • (2022-08-23) Rennen: This extension doesn't work!!!!! I'm sure I have all the rules enabled. I even turned off all other extensions to prevent interference. But no matter what the settings are, the files are not automatically grouped into folders.
  • (2022-05-07) Murtaza Vohra: Hands down it is one of the best extenstion out here in Chrome..!! took me some time to figure out and after some trial and error finally i have all my folders set up. Although i have one thing which i don't know if it is possible or not. For example, let's say i have three folders set up (1 for music, 2nd for installers an executable file and 3rd for Images) now how do i set up a rule where if any of the three extenstion mentioned above fails, it should go to my fourth folder, let's say Random? like SRT files or any random file type?
  • (2021-12-06) Asagi Dandelin: Awesome tool and I get my folder tidier than ever before. Thanks a lot. Maybe better if ' help ' contains more about RegExp. Since I've got into trouble in ' *.pdf ' while it should be ' .pdf '. And I got my files in default folder.
  • (2021-11-29) Роман Сизяков: https://name.ru/blank/download/bach_01_12 Hello guys could you please help me to figure out what should I put into Referrer URL to download something like this I want to make ${referrer:1} = bach_furtra_01_12 Ive found here .+?://([^/]+)/.* but its just refers to site name . Its too complicated for me to figure out what each sign mean. For example if the the site will be .com or .net will it brake Referrer URL code? Destination path: ${date:HH-mm-ss-SSS}________${referrer:1}__${filename}
  • (2021-11-16) davey articuno: Pretty good. I just can't figure out how you sort by .ico file type?
  • (2021-06-06) Maxime: Finally, no more clutter in my Downloads folder ! ❤
  • (2021-05-03) Harkeerat Of The Apollo Cabin: Thank you! Whoever made this extension is a lifesaver. Kind of difficult to understand in the beginning but with some more info I was able to work it out!! THANK YOU!
  • (2021-04-06) SONY CHEN: great extension!
  • (2021-03-01) Denny Lenselink: Works as expected and it is easy configurable. I've created a symbolic link in my downloads folder which points to a different drive where I download in separate folders. There is one problem with mime-types though; it doesn't work with types like 'application/epub+zip'. Does it need to be escaped (+)? EDIT: Created a workaround by using '\.(epub|mobi|pdf)$' in the FILENAME text field and stopped using the MIME-TYPE field for this rule.
  • (2021-02-04) illLogik: 5/5 from me. Very useful and much needed functionality! Chrome, Edge, and Firefox need to implement this natively. This is the second expression-based download-router I tried, and not only does this one work properly as opposed to the previous one but the expression functionality was much more complete. Downfall is that Chrome & Edge (and possibly Opera as well) only allows extensions to put files in the default Download folder. If you have an NTFS file-system (if you're on Windows odds are you do) you can however get around this by means of using directory junctions (e.g. you put a file in the linked folder and it will be automatically created in the linked folder you created a junction to like a mirror image of anything you do in the linked folders, which can be anywhere else in your storage device(s), not just in the default Chrome & Edge default Download directory for example) This effectively creates a directory that is in more than one location on potentially more than one storage device where any changes you make in any of it's locations are effectively duplicated across all the linked directory locations instantly. You can use Command-Prompt (cmd.exe) or PowerShell to accomplish the creation of these links from the Downloads folder to elsewhere using "mklink". Command-line syntax of "mklink" is as follows: ͯ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯Ì ị mklink [[/d] | [/h] | [/j]] <link> <target> | Ŀ__________________________________| (Note: I just made the box around it to try and make it look more like it does when you can use proper HTML to display code or syntax of commands and such, hope it doesn't confuse you.) More information on "mklink" on Microsoft's site: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink Or you can download a graphical Windows program that make's creating these junctions/symbolic links/etc. as simple as right-clicking a source folder and then selecting a context menu item and then right-clicking and selecting the context menu item on the destination folder to create your junction. Now simply route your downloads to your linked folder in the Chrome/Edge. You may have to use Drop As > Hardline Clone instead of Drop As > Junction after selecting the source link directory. To download the Link Shell Extension graphical link tool instead of using "mklink" via command-prompt, go here: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html Here is a more thorough guide on using the graphical tool with pictures and all for those who are confused on how to use this properly: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/ Peace.
  • (2021-01-19) Bukeda Idoniboye: I downloaded into multiple "site" domain-named subfolders but later realized that searching for stuff through so many subfolders could be a hassle. So I was able to download everything into one location with filenames consisting of domain name, custom datetime, and filename. For example: C:\Users\username\Downloads\_MyDownloads\sitename.com_20210119-105358_filename.jpeg. When sorted alphabetically, the _MyDownloads folder is positioned at the top of my screen. Here are the rule settings I used: Description: Organize by domain name datetime files Referrer URL: .+?://([^/]+)/.* Destination path: _Downloads/${referrer:1}_${date:YYYYMMDD-HHmmss}_${filename} I disabled all other rules.
  • (2020-12-10) Smokie Lee: Does what it says on the tin. It wasn't hard for me as web developer but an example template with common downloads (zip, images, pdf, exe) would be very helpful for the majority of this extension's users.
  • (2020-12-02) Iggy: After many hours searching for my issue (native messaging, localhost, web server, etc.) I found this smart solution. That way users can export different files + different target locations from my website without the annoying Chrome prompt "Save As". Before the 0.3.1 patch today, Chrome put (1), (2) and so on at the file. So I wrote about it at github and the "overwrite" option got straight implemented within few hours. Super cool mate, keep it up!
  • (2020-09-12) Magni Chen: Works and I know it, but I just don't have that much time to test those regexes along and see the results when exceptions occur. Media types are not that familiar, and the AND rule pertaining to the five matchers make it difficult to fall back to using only file suffixes to simplify the thing.
  • (2020-09-03) Дракоша Пестренький (Drakosha): У меня он даже внутри папки не работает. 7z архив в "Загрузки" попал. Ну ладно, вроде там нет 7z в фильтре. Но exe у меня тоже в "Загрузки" попал. (У меня Edge). И вообще, почему нет диалогового окна, если расширение новое сохраняется? Почему не все архивы в фильтре - их ведь типов 12 максимум? И т.п. В итоге удалил, чего и вам желаю.
  • (2020-03-26) Отдел АСУ: Работает сохранение только через контекстное меню. Обычные кнопки сохранения на сайтах, сохраняют файлы в дефолт.
  • (2020-02-16) Nox The Box: This is good you just have to understand how to create the rules. It looks at the drive your browser's downloads default to. I have mine set to an extra 3tb drive I put in my pc and once I set the rules it has been working great. Just what I was looking for.
  • (2019-12-02) Дмитрий: Хорошее расширение, все устраивает, только было плюсом сделать опцию "Перезаписывать при одинаковом имени". suggest({ filename: filename, conflictAction: 'overwrite' }); Остальные похожие расширения этого не умеют, а в связке с отдельным расширением реализующим эту функцию происходит конфликт доступа к файлу.
  • (2019-10-08) Jens Holm: Would be great if it worked with shortcuts too
  • (2019-10-07) Dmitry Verzjikovsky: Great extension for simple use.

  • (2019-06-17) trikiman: Не подошло
  • (2019-05-02) Quet Zakoatlus: Awesome. I had this extension but It was disabled because it wasn't working. Now it works perfectly. I hope keep it updated all the time.

  • (2019-03-10) Neth: Great extension, takes a bit of time to get it to work. A place with more examples, and rules to DL would be helpful for new users. Suggestion, in case it is possible, could there be an option to add Tags to files, depending on the rule?
  • (2019-02-17) Reth Hard: I like this extension but unfortunately it is conflicting with an other Chrome extension, Chrono Download Manager... :(
  • (2019-02-10) Joao Zanetti: A better option for Downloads Router (RIP).
  • (2018-09-18) Johan Heyvaert: Relatively easy to configure. The combined filter options are a very good idea. A nice (togglable) feature would be a confirmation popup (something like in the similar extension "download-router"). Maybe technically impossible: the extension is not able to identify the referrer or file url of blob downloads that are materialized via javascript.
  • (2018-09-12) Haroune Mohammedi: very useful and simple to use ! thank you so much
  • (2018-05-15) Abhishek Bhavsar: If you have just a single partition and you want it all organized in a superb manner then this extension is what you are looking for.As an IT person it was easy for me to setup the download rules. But it would be great if you provide a sample template file too..
  • (2018-04-30) Tamim Tkweb: Good extension! so far working great!
  • (2018-04-28) Ben: Not sure how this is supposed to work, but it doesn't for me. I set up a rule, clicked a file to download, but it still defaulted to the last directory I saved a file to rather than the directory the rule dictates. Disappointed.
  • (2018-04-26) Rabinoperra: i'm breaking in tears. just what i needed all this time. WITH A MOTHEREFFING EXPORT OPTION.
  • (2017-04-08) Flavio Colavecchia: Easy to use, setup a few rules and forget about the clutter in your download folder.
  • (2017-03-22) John Smith: Any plans to port this to Firefox?
  • (2016-12-17) Tomas Mickus: Minimalistic and easy to use!
  • (2016-10-04) I don't even know anymore: I like it. I finally figured out what I was doing and it works fine. However, it should be more simplistic. For users like me
  • (2015-10-03) Colin Eberly: This is cool for basic usage and having all images go to an image folder, or torrents go to torrent folder, etc. For anything more complicated than that, it starts proving difficult to use due to the lack of documentation. For instance, trying to have images downloaded from facebook go into a facebook folder is proving difficult. Trying different regex schemes with no luck trial and error for hours is no fun. Some documentation on advanced techniques for THIS extension would be very valuable, if they are even supported.

  • (2015-04-11) TheGunNac: Работае только внутри папки по умолчанию скопировать файлы в другие папки не хочет вообщем мне не подошло

  • (2020-11-19, v:0.3.0) Ron Allen: Take it to a base REGEX and recursive folder create for a raw REGEX experience
    How difficult would it be to take it to a base REGEXP against the URL? using standard REGEXP (Like regexp101.com?) If you have intercepted the referrer - you could flip it to have variables in the REGEXP check. If I had a router that would take the referrer or download path and then be able to match a standard regex against it - then have a destination created, and recursively create the output folder... that is a regexp dream : )
  • (2020-10-01, v:0.3.0) Ben Rivlin: No Longer Working

  • (2020-07-25, v:0.3.0) Arsalan M.: Can you make that the save files are stored on your chrome account?
    That would be better than exporting them manually. The settings of a lot of extensions tend to reset after some browser updates so I export the save file after each change I make. That's sort of annoying. I'd rather have it auto-stored somewhere
  • (2020-07-21, v:0.3.0) Brendan Coughlin: So I have a few suggestions and issues
    First could you please add in a save rule notification so that way I will know when a rule is enabled and is working? Alot of times I write rules and then it takes 5 to 10 minutes for them to take effect, being able to confirm that a new rule has been saved and running would be amazing. Please make it easier to rearrange rules so I can drag and drop them instead of having to constantly hit the down arrow to move the newest rules to the bottom. Finally the ability to group rules together by section for easier viewing or clone a group of them. For example I set up extension to sort my uni files from different classes into folders, I have to create a separate rule for each class site for every file type. and then debug each rule until they start working, being able to clone groups of them and change just one aspect would be godsent rather than exporting and using notepad++ to do it.
  • (2020-07-14, v:0.3.0) saeng khots: File download to symlink folder fails, needs manual clicking to resume
    Hi. I'm using your extension to download torrent files to a specific folder on my NAS which is linked using a symbolic link (mklink /d source target). Whenever the download initiates, it fails with a generic "download failed" error but I am able to click "resume" and it'll finish and work as expected. I am using the default torrent settings other than the folder location.

  • (2020-06-09, v:0.3.0) Paul Jordan: Download filenames
    I have two issues with the download functions of Chrome. You've fixed one of these. The other issue is fixed by "Downloads Overwrite Already Existing Files" which prevents the filename being changed and allows the overwrite. The problem is that they don't work together. Any change you could either: * Include the option to do this (remove the (n) added to the filename by Chrome) in your extension, or * Make yours work alongside the other extension. Thanks

I've tried disabling all extensions and turning them back on one by one, and this is the only one that exhibits this behavior. I'm on win 7 x64, I've updated everything I can think of.

  • (2017-01-10, v:0.2.3) Will L.: Aliases

  • (2017-01-10, v:0.2.3) Will L.: Boolean
    Could you please add the option to use boolean logic? Or maybe release another extension that uses boolean instead? ANDs are quite cumbersome in regex. I want to have non-mp4 videos go to a "to be converted" folder using "videos/* & !videos/mp4".
