Save content from anywhere on the web to your Drive with a new Chrome extension, plus updates to images
Today, we're introducing a new Save to Drive Chrome extension that gives you a couple of ways to capture content from around the web and store it right to your Google Drive. Once you've installed the extension, you can click the Drive extension icon to save an image of a page, the HTML source code, or a Web archive. Or you can right-click on images or links to files and save them directly to Drive.
We've also added a few new ways to work with images that are already stored in Drive. You can now zoom by scrolling or using the new fit to page and 100% buttons. And if you have something to say about a specific part of an image, you can select a region and add a comment to it.

Well...if the extension would actually side-load the resources this extension would actually makes sense. Since the current procedure seems to be to download the resource and then uploading it again to GDrive it is rather pointless don't you think?
ReplyDeleteSebastian Mauer you don't have to download the image. You can right click on it and you should see the Save image to Google Drive option.
ReplyDeletePooja Srinivas so is this Extension using any unreleased/internal Google Drive Fetch API then? AFAIK there is currently no way to tell Google Drive to directly fetch remote resources...so I am assuming the extension initates a local upload and then uploading it to GDrive. Right?
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to ask the Google Drive team :-)
ReplyDeleteSebastian Mauer, if your browser is showing a resource, it's been downloaded already. I don't know how exactly the uploading happens, but you won't incur double download cost in vast majority of the cases.
ReplyDeleteMuthu Kannan i know...i was just poking for a full-fledged Fetch API, since that would be areally cool feature for Drive :D
ReplyDeleteAgree.
