When users would download a file, Chrome performs the first-level check with Google Safe Browsing using metadata about the downloaded file, such as the digest of the contents and the source of the file, to determine whether it’s potentially suspicious. If Safe Browsing determines the file is unsafe, Chrome will display a warning. Users can bypass the warning and open the file without scanning. Uploaded files are deleted from Safe Browsing a short time after scanning.
