Is it possible to specify a Google Drive folder as download location in Chrome?

Reported by nagesh.a...@gmail.com, May 9 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a folder in Google Drive.
2. Ge the shareable url for the folder
3. Go to Chrome and try setting the download location to this url (Drive folder).

What is the expected behavior?
I should be able to specify a Google Driver URL as download location in Chrome

What went wrong?
Chrome only allows me to specify a download location on local machine.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.94  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.10.5
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0
 
If there are ways to do it programmatically using APIs or SDK I'd like to know.

This isn't a mac-specific feature request.

This is currently not in the scope for implementation for Chrome on desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux). Instead you can use the Google Drive desktop client (https://www.google.com/drive/download/) and then you can set the Google Drive folder (or its subfolders) as the download destination. Files downloaded to these folders will be synced to your Google Drive storage.

Support for Google Drive is available on Chrome OS without any plugins.
