How to change the Chrome Downloads folder

Today we access browsers to search the web , and to carry out other series of procedures such as downloading programs and documents. Most of us download different content on our computer, since in this way we can store different information or install new programs with which to increase the functions of the PC..

 

 

Google Chrome manages certain variables by default and one of them is the path where the browser downloads are hosted. These by default go to the Downloads library in the path C: \ Users \ user \ Downloads, but due to space issues in the C drive or simply for better control of downloads, we can edit this path to a new one established.

 

That is why then getFastAnswer will explain all the steps you must follow to know how to change the Chrome Downloads folder easily and quickly from your PC..
