“Save the Drive”: The New Chrome Extension

“Save to Drive” is the new extension launched by Google which will enable users to save web content on their Google Drive.

Installing the extension will give users an additional icon in Chrome, letting them save an image, an entire page or an image of the visible page to their Google Drive.

Users can also save the HTML source code of a webpage or a complete webpage in web archive (.mht) format. Finally, they can simply right click on web content to save it directly to Google Drive.

The extension offers several options to manage saved web content: Users can immediately open the file in Drive, rename it or view it in their Drive list, which provides additional options, such as sharing the file or placing it in a folder.

Google has also added new options for managing the images users store in Drive, including zoom by scrolling, new “fit to page” and “100%” buttons, as well as the ability to comment on a specific part of an image.
