How To Save Different Downloads Based On Their File Type In Chrome

Today we will tell you about a new feature of Google Chrome which would help you in organized downloading of files. These days, we use internet way more than we used to do some years back. We rely on internet too much whether it be study, searching words, finding hotels, booking trains, flights etc. Because of all this, we download a lot more stuff than we used to before, whether it’s (legal) music & movies, images, freeware applications or anything else. And since most of the downloading is done directly via browser, it’s imperative that the browsers are sufficiently equipped to handle downloading tasks.
Each and every browser is capable of handling single/multiple downloads easily. You can even specify a default save location for all your downloaded stuff. However, filling a single folder with different kinds of files makes it look clumsy and unorganized. 
Fruumo Download Manager, is a easy to use and handy extension of Google Chrome which could help you in downloading different files and then save them to different folders based on their file type. Let's see how to use this extension. 

How To Use This Extension 

At first, go to the link provided at the last of this article and add this extension to your Google Chrome Browser. This extension helps you in taking control of all the downloads in your hands. Fruumo Download Manager lets you manage all your Google Chrome downloads. Using it, you can track the progress of downloads via notifications, preview downloads, and many other things. Using this extension, you can download multiple files from a particular tab at the same time. 
The extension even lets you download multiple files from a particular tab at the same time. But probably the highlight feature of Fruumo Download Manager is that it lets you set custom filters for your downloads.
The best thing about this extension is that you can define a filter where you could specify a custom download folder for different files which are of same type. You can create a filter for file(s) having a similar download URL, as well the name of the file. This means that all your digital audio downloads (MP3, WMA etc.) can go to the Music folder whereas the software applications (EXE, MSI etc.) will be saved to the Software folder. And all of these custom folders are created under the same parent folder, the one that you’ve specified as the default in Google Chrome’s settings.

How To Use Different Folders For Downloading Different Files

All you have to do is to specify a custom folder and then create a filter for the different types of file which you want to go there in that particular folder. Fruumo Download Manager will take care of the rest. It’s super simple, actually. There are some other options as well like download URL, file name string etc. Here, I will tell you a simple way to proceed. 
Step 1: I hope you have added this extension onto your Chrome Browser. Let's open that. It will look something like this.
You can see in the above shown screenshot, there are four different options which you can use for adjusting settings, viewing downloads, searching them and many more. The extension’s settings are fairly simple. You can turn options such as download progress notifications, previews, background downloads, and things like that On/Off. Apart from that, there is a simple navigation bar at the left that can be used to view downloads, help text etc. However, we’re interested in the Add New Filter button at the bottom right corner, which is explained in the next step.
Step 2: To create a new filter, click the Add New Filter button, and the filter creation pane will come up. Here, you can specify a couple of things for the filter. The Filter Name field refers to the name that will be given to the folder where all the files matching this filter will be stored. The File name and Download URL fields are pretty self-explanatory and can be ignored unless you’re interested in downloading from only a specific URL. The File Types field is the important one, as this is where you have to enter the file extensions or types. You can add as many file types as you want, hittingEnter after each entry. Once done, hit the Submit button. Here’s a screengrab:
That’s it. You have created a filter for all video file types. Now, different formats of video will download by their own in this folder only. Note, that it will strictly follow the extension of video which you have mentioned while creating the filter. 
Summing It Up
Downloading stuff from the Internet and that too in a n organised manner is very rare to find. This is why this app is considered to be one of the best extension of its own type. Try this out by your own and enjoy downloading in a more customized way.
