Question Regarding Opening Local Files

I recently set up FVD SpeedDial for Chrome. Everything is working great with the exception of opening local files located on my pc. When I open a file, it automatically saves the file to my pc's Downloads. Thus, each time I reopen the same file, it creates a new version (i.e. excel spreadsheet(1).xlsx) in Downloads. My question is, is there a way to prevent the file from being saved inside Downloads? Thanks.
