Cindy Bahl (Cindy) (ID: 0000009be9acf12d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/10/2022 EDIT TO REVIEW ON 2022-12-10: On October 23rd, 2022, I rated the extension as one star with the text at the bottom. Unfortunately, I didn't realize the developer had replied until now. I have once again attempted to use this extension and it seems to work. I admit that its usefulness is more than I thought it would be. I raised my rating from one to three stars. I tried searching for something and not sure I got correct returns. However, I'm going to continue testing as this seems to be an invaluable thing to have available. I promise to come back and update the review with my test results once they are done. ORIGINAL ONE STAR REVIEW FROM 2022-10-23: I use the browser "Brave", which uses Chrome's extensions by default. My issue? Every time I click on the icon for this extension, it requests I login to my Google account. I thought it might be because I was using Brave. So, I tried using this extension on Chrome. Same issue. What is the point of giving this extension permission to access my Google Drive if it asks for this ever time?

Simo Calandra (ID: 000000bbcddff582) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/25/2022 I definately like the idea of this extension.... very handy to be able to access gdrive from the browser. Also, and this was the main reason I downloaded this, is about notification.... I can't believe this is not a default feauture on Google Drive. Crazy. Though, I have noticed a problem: I keep getting ask to grant permission to the extension even if it was not revoked. Checked within the account to confirm that the extension has access but still keeps asking... Would be great to fix this. Thank you for the work - I would increase my rating and provide some monetary support after I have further tested the extension and see how well it works.
