From your screenshot, I think that the problem is that you have downloaded files in the past, but they are no longer available on your machine. Chrome is trying to do something with them, and that's why you are getting that message. I've had that same thing happen to me before.

Try clearing all your download history, and browsing data. (Settings >>> Privacy and Security >>> Clear Browsing Data). Make sure you tick at least Download History for All Time. If possible, try to clear everything just to be safe.

If for some reason that doesn't fix the problem, try creating a new profile.

It's a known issue; not really fixed the way that people on a metered connection would like :
