Click the name. It doesn't look like an option, because there are buttons for download or cancel, but the file name is also a link to the file.

It links to a file with that name. There have been times where I download a pdf and click the name only for my phone to open a different pdf than the one I was supposed to be downloading. Turns out they both had the same name.

It makes sense. I don't think it's possible to detect if the contents in two files are identical before downloading it, so all it can do is to compare the file name.

Anyway, the dialogue could be more helpful in this regard, but I guess that would also annoy or confuse some users.

Yeah if I ever come across this experience, I just click on the name of the file that I already downloaded. Comes up and no need for redownloading.

Nope, not on my Pixel 7 using Chrome

Show me a screenshot of where you're able to tap to open the file because I certainly can't find it...

If I tap the file name it opens the keyboard, if I tap the folder it shows how much space is available...

You'll need to turn off "ask where to save files" in chrome download settings.

Thanks, it works! Funny how that's an option considering it downloads files without asking anything the first first time and only ask for your input if you try to download it a second time...

Oh wow, mine presents differently:

Yeah someone told me it's the only option in the download settings that needed to be deactivated
