isogino (ID: 000000fe29ba0171) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/16/2019 引用テキストが、GoogleDriveに保存されるのは便利です。 ただし、webページのURLは、ローカルのGoogleDriveに保存されません (web上のGoogleDriveには、owlsee.comへのリンクがついています)。 一方、owlsee.comのサーバーには、保存したテキストやURLへのリンクが保存されます。 気になるのは、owlsee.comのサーバーからデータを個別に削除する方法が分からない点です。 ※アカウント自体をcloseすると、owlsee.comのサーバーから、テキストやリンクを全て削除することができるようです。その場合もGoogleDrive上のテキストはそのまま残ります。 GoogleDriveに置くテキストに引用元URLが記載されて、 owlsee.comのサーバーに保存されたデータが個別に削除できるようになると、いいなと思います。
