  • (2023-09-23) Randy Winchester: Dead app.
  • (2021-09-23) Oriane JOSEPH: Seems to don't work anymore ;( Please fix it "Error: Server Error The server encountered an error and could not complete your request."
  • (2020-09-23) Shawn Kays: No longer works.
  • (2020-08-14) Aidan Edwards: Just 404s now, sadly :(
  • (2020-04-11) Michele-Teresa AM: Not working, even with "simple" YouTube urls.
  • (2020-03-31) Craig Duran: I find this app very useful!
  • (2020-03-27) Rui Miranda: Is there a way to open directly wihtout having to choose from the pre-view menu? and also is there something similar for Android?
  • (2020-03-02) Matthew Howell: Okay... While this extensions works, it's not at all intuitive. After you create your "link", it will show up under the "Recent" area in your Google Drive account. Once you locate the "link" in the "Recent" section, you right-click on it and then select the option "add to Google Drive".
  • (2019-12-27) Luka Pevec: not working
  • (2019-12-11) Modestos Stavrakis: Not working any more. It does not allow to create links under collections.
  • (2019-10-21) Oliver Bliss: Didn't work, JSON or whatever it is issues.
  • (2019-09-16) Hajar Rajab: This app asks for more permissions than Facebook does only to open a simple url.
  • (2019-09-08) Abubaker: I didn't use it because it is asking for permission to access all my google drive files and download them????!!!
  • (2019-09-07) Michael Morris: Works well on My Drive, but when I put it on the Shared Drive for others to use, it won't work and shows "error". Please fix!
  • (2019-08-18) Alex Westhaver-Ford: Permissions requested seem excessive for what this does. Since it is coming from an independent/individual developer, it's not a good idea to trust this add-on with such a wide permission scheme.
  • (2019-08-07) John C: They want permission to see and download all of your google drive files. No way!
  • (2019-05-21) POC LIS: Would not create URL based on external link. Deleted it almost immediately
  • (2019-05-21) Dh Priyavajra (Keith Robins): Really useful app. One thing would make it even better. It seems to recognize .url but not .URL extensions. Some applications seem to generate the upper-case version and glinks doesn't seem to recognize them.
  • (2019-03-08) Nguyen Pham: ok
  • (2019-01-28) Murray Cowell: Why would this app need to "See and download all [my] Google Drive files"? I cannot possibly allow that, it would be a major breach of my data protection responsibilities. I have client-confidential files on my Google Drive, and I'd be breaking the law if I allowed a third-party access to them. Which is a shame, because up until that moment, this looked like a good solution. Uninstalled.
  • (2019-01-23) Jure Sah: doesn't work
  • (2018-11-29) Corrado Mencar: too many authorizations required!
  • (2018-10-04) J.T. Brown III: This is a potentially AMAZING app - BUT gLinks is now non-functional/broken... PLEASE - Someone update this needed app and convert it to a proper 'Drive App' !!!
  • (2018-08-16) Javier Salcedo Gadea: Rafael, doesn't work now, Google Sign On doesn't authorize it. Is that something you can solve easily?
  • (2018-08-15) Alexey Korepov: Very needed feature and good idea, but I can't sign in to the app, Google shows the error that sign in via Google is blocked because this app is not approved at now. How to fix this problem?
  • (2018-08-04) Helen Jin: ew it never works
  • (2018-07-29) Robert M. Papillion: "Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app This app has not been verified yet by Google in order to use Google Sign In."
  • (2018-05-04) Julian Adolfo Espinosa Salazar: It doesn't work, great idea but not working at this time.
  • (2018-03-08) Genius solution! But... pleeeeeeeeease can you make it an option in Team Drive? Would be super useful as a next step.
  • (2018-02-06) Jimmy Hidalgo: Doesn't work
  • (2018-02-01) Axel Ingólfsson: As some people pointed out already, this app first asks you for some permissions to read and manage files it doesn't need in order to fulfill the purpose in the description. If you press cancel, then you're redirected to a page that asks for less permissions. And this does not only happen when you install the plugin but also when you open links with it which means that you are likely to accidentally press Accept at some point. Looks very dubious. I wouldn't install this unless you have a reason to trust these guys with access to all your files.
  • (2018-01-31) Ruben Vereecken: Error-prone
  • (2017-11-12) oLi: I'm happy that some kind, clever soul has created a tool that has a genuine need, thanks. The only slight niggle is the multitude of permission clicks required everytime a link is used!
  • (2017-10-14) Laura Carrera: So far, so good. This app does exactly what I needed it to. As a teacher, it is great to be able to organize my links for certain lessons along with my documents and power points.
  • (2017-10-03) Channel Contention: Hooray! TerraClicks Bound To Firewall Default - Save Your Links.
  • (2017-07-31) Md. Atiq- Ur- Rahman: Awesome............
  • (2017-06-27) Sylvain Peigney: Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
  • (2017-04-20) John Schroeder: Asks for way more permissions than it needs; this is what it asks for: View files from Google Drive that you have opened with this app or that are shared publicly Save changes to files that you have opened with this app Create new files in Google Drive using this app View folders and their contents from Google Drive that you have opened with this app Make changes to folders and their contents that you have opened with this app Delete contents of folders that you have opened with this app
  • (2017-03-08) Alec Foster: Only .webloc filenames works now, others don't work. Way too many permissions.
  • (2017-01-07) Vincent Winqvist: Just gives me an error code instead of creating a link...
  • (2016-12-06) Miku Kitsune: awesome
  • (2016-12-01) Geoff Olson: We need a similar android app.
  • (2016-09-09) Esfandiar Bandari: It asks for a lot of permission, including looking at your Google Drive!?! I was able to save the link as a file (with a url extension). But when I went to open it, I could only download the URL and then open it on my computer! You would think at least on Chrome, you should be able to drag and drop a URL into your Google Drive. It may be a security issue that Google doesn't allow it!
  • (2016-08-30) Debra Sumner: loved it
  • (2016-08-09) Preston Mitchell: FROM INSIDE GOOGLE DRIVE, gLinks opens URL shortcuts to websites. Without gLinks, it would be useless to store URL shortcuts in Google Drive, because the shortcuts wouldn't open. WARNING about LinkTo...which allegedly opens URL shortcuts too. LinkTo fails to work. ALSO, it contains ad-related malware.
  • (2016-05-13) Adya Satapathy: After installed, and created 2 links then not working
  • (2016-05-05) James Vaughan: Now I can open all URLS directly from Google Drive. Works perfectly for me.
  • (2016-04-21) Akshay Bhadange: great !!
  • (2016-03-19) Paul Beeken: Doesn't seem to work. I have attempted to install it but the application keeps asking for permissions to open the file (share with Google Drive, etc.). Even though a allow it to proceed the program won't create a link to the site.
  • (2016-01-06) Patrick Reed: Doesn't work.
