Chrome does not ask where to save each file before downloading
Solution 1:
I ran into this issue today where chrome was automatically downloading a text file into the downloads folder without asking where to put it even though I had the chrome setting configured to always ask for the location. I also didn't like the idea of resetting all my settings just to try to get this to work. This happened for some types and not others.
What I did to fix the issue in my case is the following:
- Go to Chrome settings
- Search for "Download"
- At the bottom where the download options, clear option to always open in an application. It's a third option that showed up, but once it's "cleared" doesn't show up again.
After these steps, I was immediately able to always be asked where to download files.
