Are we testing this case?

+      LOG(ERROR) << "Cannot find the user's \"Downloads\" folder.";

I'm inclined to suggest you make this a VLOG rather than a LOG(ERROR).  It is an
uncommon case, but it's not really broken from the user's perspective--they may
have some very good (or bad, but still their choice) reason to delete the
default downloads directory, and I don't think we want to dump stuff to the
error output on release builds because of it.  It's rarely a good idea to do
non-VLOG release build logging.

Done.
