PromptForDownloadLocation

This policy controls if Google Chrome asks where to save each file before downloading. This policy must be set as false at the machine level.

Setting this policy to false prevents a Save As popup window from opening when saving file. If this setting is not properly configured, when using Incognito mode files may download with incorrect file names.

See the documentation for PromptForDownloadLocation in the Google documentation for Chrome Enterprise Policies.
