is there a way to get ubuntu / nautilus ask for where to store a file when downloading instead of automatically placing it in the download folder.

a similar question was asked here but without an answer. How to change default download location to an SD card?

this is more a general question than a specific situation, but as example:

while browsing (google chrome) i decided to download asustor adm 3.0 beta and would like to place this directly on the nas. Instead of downloading it to the download folder and then relocate it.

In Google Chrome you can set to always ask for a download location.

Go to Chrome settings and check this option.

  • Super!! exactly what i needed.. I never would've guessed it was browser related though. My bad, in hind sight i should've figured this myself. Still, many thanks! – Matthieu Kints van Aug 17 '17 at 22:00

    It is browser related because you download in a browser. – Pilot6 Aug 17 '17 at 22:01
  • Nautilus can download too? oke,, i understand that thaking that in consideration my question was indeed badly stated.. i will revice it again. when and why would one download via nautilus though? – Matthieu Kints van Aug 17 '17 at 22:03
  • You can download using different software. You can do it in CLI, or other apps. – Pilot6 Aug 17 '17 at 22:04
  • yeah i figured the cli part.. and ofcourse other apps. As said, i should've figured it had nothing to do with nautilus / ubuntu.. decided to leave the question as it is now. otherwise the asnwers will become confusing to other people reading this. – Matthieu Kints van Aug 17 '17 at 22:07
