Save to Google Drive...With the Click of a Button!

The Save to Google Drive extension can be easily installed and used if you want to quickly grab information from a Google Chrome tab on the internet, and don't want to have to copy/paste that information into a new document. 

This little extension takes a screenshot of the current Chrome tab and saves that data in one of the following formats:
  • .png
  • .html (source of the page)
  • .mht (web archive)
  • Google Doc
*It also will allow you to save .pdf files directly to your Google drive.

Installing Save to Google Drive
  1. Open Chrome.
  2. Navigate to the Save to Chrome extension page.
  3. Click ADD TO CHROME.
  4. When prompted click Add Extension.
  5. Allow the installation to complete.
Configuring Save to Google Drive
Right-click the small Google Drive icon to the right of your Chrome address bar and select Options to configure the extension. From the Options page, you can set the following:
  • The Save To location for Google Drive (it will default to the root of your Google Drive)
  • Save As file format (.png, .html, .mht, or Google Doc)
  • Convert saved link to Google editor format

Using Save to Google Drive
Save to Google Drive is simple to use. When you're on a page you want to save, left-click the extension icon and the file will be saved. A popup window will appear, giving you the chance to rename or delete the file.
