And they simply don't let you save captured page with right extension. So sad. I know this is an old question, but for any others who found this looking for Outlook.

We can't tell a thousand users around the world to change their browser settings to use our app. As of version It's a very real and unacceptable problem for us as well. There IS a workaround, but it more work than it should be: When you see the download bar shown in the question above, click on the far right where it says Show all downloads On the blocked file click Recover malicious file , then Show in folder.

I know how to do it it probably took me about a minute to figure out , but I can't expect end users to do that as part of normal application use. I'm currently rewriting that module to work with DOCX files instead. Right-click on it and choose "Open With". Enable Check the box for the option that says "Always use this app to open.

But until Google gives Chrome the ability to whitelist URLs, this may be the best workaround available to your customers. It may even be something their IT department can automatically deploy. SaaS means Software as a Service. There's no IT department here - users of the app from different organizations around the world can use any supported browser in any platform. Whitelisting would not work either. I'm familiar with the acronym; I developed this workaround for use with a SaaS product our organization uses.

Any help would be much appreciated!! The workaround was to use a doc extension instead of mht, even though the file is really a mht. Word will silently open it, and save it in the same format by default.

Visit the dedicated forum to share , explore and talk to experts about SharePoint Server Per my research, this is the way Chrome handles file downloads. Google decided that rather than allowing applications to automatically open files downloaded through Chrome, the files must be downloaded to your local machine.

There is, unfortunately, no workaround for this. If you want to automatically open files from SharePoint to be worked in and saved back up to SP, you'll need to use a different browser like IE.
