Is there a way to download media files directly from the Chrome browser? In the stock Android browser I can long-click a link and select "Save link" to accomplish that, but Chrome doesn't offer that option and opens a media player instead.

Chrome on Android has the "save link" now when long pressing on files (such as media) which when just pressed regularly play the content. the funny thing was that I thought save link would have copied the url or created a bookmark, not download the file...so your question text helped me :) |

In Chrome, keep your finger pressed on the link, and you will see an option "Save Link". Now, this will be saved in the Downloads folder. To access it and (maybe) other folders in the future, I recommend downloading a File Management app. The best one are said to be ES File Manager and ASTRO File Manager. While generally, ASTRO is said to be better, the free version has ads. Your choice! |

There is no Chrome for Android. You probably mean stock browser in android. There is no such an option. To accomplish that install Dolphin Browser - on long press, you will find option Save Image or View Image (depend on CSS of page). |
