Ok, before I uninstall/reinstall Chrome, has anyone run into this? I have a half-dozen mapped drives on my network here in the shop, and when I use Chrome to download something, just ONE of those mapped drives is missing from the dialog where I choose where to save the download. I can/access that drive fine in file explorer, and if I download something in Firefox, the drive shows there. The other mapped drives show up just fine in Chrome. So this is a Chrome thing, but I'm hoping for some hidden checkbox kind of solution if it's out there....
 
The most typical mapped drive Issue I see is due to mapping under Administrator context vs standard user.

You could try this:

Chrome and Firefox both use the standard save dialog from the Windows API so they should see the same thing aside from admin/user context.
 
You know, I think this is a permissions issue. I've had a couple of other odd things happen lately, one with Quickbooks not being able to send an email unless I closed Outlook - weird. Fixed by changing the setting in QB to use webmail, saving closing opening then changing it back to Outlook, but then it cropped up again yesterday. The other with a batch file I've used for years not running right until I set it to run as administrator. I think I've got a Windows reload in my future....
