I can't authenticate because Google keeps blocking it for being too intrusive into sensitive data. It's been 2 years since any reviews on this app. It's likely just not updated. I'll just open a tab a search google drive that way.

I love this extension. It's perfect and fast. One thing I would suggest to make it more convenient to use is allowing change of search engine keyword. Right now it's "drive", but personally I would love to just type "d" to bring up the omnidrive. Overall, it's an excellent extension that would save you a lot of clicks and time when using google drive

Cool but only connects to one account. I use Drive for school and in my personal life, so this makes things inconvenient.

I LOVE the concept here, but ideally I want it to show the actual drive files in the drop down results, and instead it's asking me to "authenticate" the plugin EVERY TIME i type in a search (and then, if i do, it does EXACTLY what I want!!). Hoping this is a bug and the team gets this fixed up :)

I love OmniDrive. It's much faster than the Google Drive document list, which I never now never have to use. I wish OmniDrive would show different icons for the different types of documents.

defo makes life easier, the drive web ui is pretty slow to load so this saves a lot of time. also get lots of use of the 'new' function. loads of colleagues have asked for the link since seeing me make a new sheet from the bar ;-) only feature improvement suggestion is if it was possible to offer different icons in the search suggestions for at least folders/docs or even each doc type?

So much quicker to access Google Drive files now. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Good extension. Suggestion: make triggering when writing the word 'drive' in a different register - Drive, DRIVE, dRIVE.

Always loved 'search', and now Francois has added 'create' within a day of me suggesting it. Couldn't have asked for more/faster :)

Works great, there is another ext in the store that is similar but the developer of OmniDrive upgraded to oauth 2.0 unlike the other developer so this ext works perfect. However, note that all ext that access your files in Google Drive will need to be signed in each time if your cookies are set up to delete on close.

Great App! Only suggestion would be to jump to creating new documents from the omnibar by invoking a keyword like "new" (i.e. "new Google Doc", "new Google Spreadsheet", etc.)

Keeps trying to force me to log in to Chrome (which I don't want to do.) Logging in to Drive or Apps should be enough. Unusable for me.

Insta-search Drive from the omnibar. It is just what I was looking for, and fortunately from a trusted developer.

1. Why does this ask Google sign-in permissions again and again? Fix this code. This is a bug. 2. Please update the app Access permissions to Google Drive, i.e you should only access the File *names* ( not contents), so ask only for file name permissions. 3. This is full Open sourced right? So, please make it clear to all in the front page, so lot of users will love to install the same if its open sourced addon and would love to donate. 4. Submit this extension to Google verification, they will verify this extension and tag this as: verified extension and is not-malicious.
