Save In… is a versatile Chrome extension that enhances your downloading experience by adding a context menu to save media—including images, videos, audio, links, selections, and entire pages—directly into user-defined folders relative to your default download directory. It supports flexible, rules-based renaming and routing of downloads, enabling you to organize files dynamically based on your preferences.

This extension also allows saving files as shortcuts with formats like .url, .desktop, and HTML redirect. While using the WebExtension API's limitation to download only within directories relative to the default folder, users can employ symlinks on Windows or macOS/Unix systems to save files elsewhere. It requests necessary permissions to manage cross-origin requests and retrieve page titles, and requires initial configuration for optimal use. Ideal for users seeking precise control and organization over their downloaded content.

Users praise 'Save In…' for its powerful and customizable downloading features, including shortcut keys and dynamic folder organization. It works well on Chrome and Firefox with good documentation and responsive support.

Some users also mention usability inconveniences like unclear icons and manual handling of saved shortcut files.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Save In… requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
