"This type of file can harm your computer mac no keep option" - No "Keep" option? macOS HS


I have encountered the usual Chrome "feature" of displaying "this type of file can harm your computer mac no keep option" when trying to download a file from a filehosting website.

However, when the warning appears there is only ever a "discard" button and not one to "keep" the file as I have seen when using Windows...

Can anybody suggest anything?


Solution

  • @DickKennedy Helped resolve my woes with a workaround for this by going to Chrome settings and enabling the option "Ask where to save each file before downloading" in the downloads section.

    This isn't a fix, but it certainly gets the job done!
