Save to Folder Extension: Streamlined Chrome Downloads

'Save to folder from context menu' is a user-friendly Chrome extension. It lets you establish a list of folders in the settings and includes them in your context menu, making it easier to direct downloads to those particular locations. Notably, maneuvers around Chrome's security policies, such as selecting random download spots or deactivating the 'save as' dialogue, must be handled by the user. But, we have clear instructions available. There's also the option to set up symlinks for downloads outside the default folder.

if you have more than three destination folders you can't scroll when adding "new folder" in Chome :`-(

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.

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
