You can save the currently viewed page using the 'Save to Google Drive' browser action or as a PDF from the Chrome Print menu.. The directory location and format of saved HTML pages can be controlled with the extension's options page (Choice of Entire image (default), Visible image, Raw HTML, MHTML, or Google Doc). You can automatically convert Microsoft Office files or comma separated files to Google Docs format.

After your content is saved, the progress dialog allows you to open the file, rename, or view the file in the Google Drive document list. From the document list, you can organize and share your new document.

To save a file:// URLs, or to enable in incognito mode, go to chrome://extensions/ and enable the associated checkbox.

Señor Lee (ID: 000000eef18a5c50) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/10/2024 NOT WORKING! It will not save the whole page, just the visible part. Image capture failed (This request exceeds the MAX_CAPTURE_VISIBLE_TAB_CALLS_PER_SECOND quota.)

icon

Ernesto Puig (ID: 000000f02cf6db56) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/07/2024 I wanted to leave feedback but here is my review. Does the job. I would like to pick the folder where it saves to each time instead of just using the last folder used as the save location. Also I would like to convert to PDF instead of just image, web page, or G doc file.

Clay Nichols (ID: 000000f273fe11fd) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/05/2023 1. When I change the Option from Save as PNG to Save As Google Doc, it still saves as PNG image. 2. The PNG image includes all the ads and such as additional images to the right of the page, and when you view it in Gdrive that makes the whole page huge and hard to read/navigate 3. Takes 20 to 30s to capture the PNG image. This is a non starter. It's faster to copy and paste. On many sites, it does not capture correctly. Here is one example: https://web.archive.org/web/20160404134821/http://www.bungalowsoftware.com:80/subscription/create.aspx Here's an example of the captured screen: https://www.evernote.com/client/snv?noteGuid=c312c99c-7240-4191-80be-8d98c62777c2¬eKey=f63d21c1dd18fb8b&var=b&sn=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evernote.com%2Fshard%2Fs2%2Fsh%2Fc312c99c-7240-4191-80be-8d98c62777c2%2Ff63d21c1dd18fb8b&exp=ENB3538

D Oaks (TheSheDM) (ID: 0000003628c85416) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/16/2023 I use this a lot to save images to a google drive folder and it works great. Unfortunately more and more sites are using .webp format which is useless to me. It would be nice if there was an option to convert .webp to a normal image format. I have another extension that does this, but it doesn't save to google drive so I end up doing extra steps to convert first, then transfer to drive.
