Allow access to the Chrome Filesystem API with Selenium using Python

Question

I need a little help here! I need to set up selenium using the webdrive to click on a Chrome pop-up window. I’ve tried several alternatives I found, but none of them work. A company security policy restricts some settings, but the automatic download is possible, but the automatic download runs only after clicking Allow (Allow). Chrome asks "Store files on this device" with Allow or Lock options. As per image.

That was the code used:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time


option = Options()
option.add_argument("--disable-infobars")
option.add_argument("start-maximized")
option.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
option.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
option.add_argument('--disable-download-notification')
option.add_experimental_option("useAutomationExtension", False)
option.add_experimental_option("prefs", {
                "safebrowsing.enabled": True, 
                "profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications": 1, 
                "profile.default_content_setting_values.geolocation": 1})

wd = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=option, executable_path='C:\\Users\\Documents\\webdriver\\chromedriver.exe')
wd.get('http://websiteintranet.com.br')

This is a Chrome security measure when a website tries to use Chrome Filesystem API.

If you have full confidence in the website you are accessing, you can bypass that pop-up by starting Chrome with the flag --unlimited-storage

option.add_argument("--unlimited-storage")
