You can easily change Chrome download Location to desktop, specific folder on the desktop or to any other location on your computer.

Unfortunately, modifying Chrome's Preferences file directly is not an option to me. The thing is, I need to set the download folder on my Python script, not on Chrome's Preferences file. (That's because I'll need to have several different download folders and iterate over them, saving a few hundred downloaded files to each folder). If you want you can add a specific path here and you can move the chromedriver to this folder but as you see, /usr/local/bin folder is defined as a path by default. Now, go to your downloads folder, find the chromedrivermac64.zip file and unpack it. You will see the chromedriver executable file. Apr 01, 2014.
