Surely many of you use Chrome on your Android phone. So it is normal that you download various things from Chrome. Things like images, music, documents, APKs, etc. And you may want to change the location where the downloads are hosted. So we show you how to change the download folder in Chrome.
Doing so is very simple. Perhaps it does not offer us the amount of options that we would like, but we can move the downloads to our SD card to avoid filling our internal storage. Attentive or attentive, these are the steps to follow.
How to change the download folder
To do this you will have to open Google Chrome and click on the button with three dots, in the upper right part of the screen. There we will go to Configuration and we will search Downloads, that we will find it at the end of everything, before Chrome information, which is the last option. We can also access by clicking on the same options button at the top right of the screen and clicking on Downloads and then the button gear in the upper right. Both will direct us to the same site.
Once we have reached the download option, three options will appear, Location of downloads, Ask where to save files y Download articles recommended for you with Wi-Fi. We are only interested in the first two. If we click on the first one we can choose if you want it to be saved in the internal memory or on the SD card.
In case you do not have an SD card inserted in your mobile phone, either because you do not have it inserted at that moment or because your phone does not have a slot to insert a Micro SD card, only the amount of space available in your folder will appear. downloads.
But we have another option: Ask where to save the files. We will click there if we want it to ask us in which folder we want to save it every time we go to download a file. In this way we can choose the location ourselves manually, in a similar way to how we do it in its versions for desktop systems such as Windows, Mac OS or Linux.
And that's it, it's that easy. Especially if you have a Micro SD card in your mobile phone, we recommend that you move the downloads there, so you have more space for applications and system files, which may have to be stored in the internal memory of your device.
Any questions you can leave in the comments.
