One of the primary goals of many Google Chrome Extensions is to find ways of improving productivity. This may be by finding shortcuts for certain tasks. It may also be by providing ways to make very time-consuming tasks into tasks that can be done with the click of a few buttons. Whatever the shortcut, the aim is to make you more successful at what you do and allow you to spend valuable time on what is important, rather than on slow tasks that take away your energy and focus.
Save to Google Drive
The Save to Google Drive extension links with your Google Drive account. For it to work effectively, you need to be logged into your Google Drive account, which will enable you to easily save content directly to your Drive. The extension allows you to save a specific web page, or content from the web page, or even a screen capture, directly into your Google Drive folder. This alleviates having to switch back and forth between tabs, moving all the content into your Drive folder easily, and then allowing you to access it in Drive at a later stage.
