Configures the default directory that Google Chrome will use for downloading files.
If you set this policy, it will change the default directory that Google Chrome downloads files to. This policy is not mandatory, so the user will be able to change the directory.
If you do not set this policy, Google Chrome will use its usual default directory (platform-specific).
See https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3/user-data-directory-variables for a list of variables that can be used.
