Save web content or screen capture directly to Google Drive.
The Save to Google Drive Chrome extension helps you save web content or browser screenshots to your Google Drive.
* Adds a browser action to save the current page.
* Adds a right-click context menu to save hyperlinks and media.
* Configurable through an options page.
* Save a PDF of the current page via the Chrome Print menu
This extension allows you to save web content directly to Google Drive through a browser action or context menu. You can save documents, images, and HTML5 audio and video all by right clicking and selecting 'Save to Google Drive'. 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.
Due to security restrictions, this extension cannot capture chrome:// pages or Chrome Web Store pages.

- hay great looks good easy to read.

- This extension should be or is already retired. When I attempt to save a page to Drive as an .HTML file, the extension just opens the "Save to Google Drive" page on the Extensions manager. It does not actually save the file, and cannot be coaxed to do so.
- Andrius Žilėnas
- it sucks - waste of time trying to save as doc... better not waste any more... uninstalled
- David Ruekberg
- As some others have reported, it doesn't save as a Google Doc. From the extension it will save as PNG or HTML source code. From the Print option it will save as PDF. I spent an hour with support. The first agent suggested I remove the extension, restart the computer, and try again, which I did, but no improvement. The second agent made me go through the same steps and then had me print as a PDF (not using the extension), save to my computer, upload to Google Drive, and then convert to Google Docs, which is the dumbest solution I can imagine. I can Save to Google Drive using the Print option directly and then convert to Google Docs so I can edit it, but his solution added two extra steps. Yeesh. My fault for being patient with the Google rep and wasting an hour of my life.

- Good and easy to use.
- TIM service
- Very good. But please increase the limit of file size allowance.
- Jordon Cotter
- The Save as Google Document option (which I want to use) always gets stuck on 'Downloading'. I've cleared my cookies, uninstalled and reinstalled the extension, but it still doesnt work. The 'Save link' option just says to open the link and save it as a png. And it almost always defaults to saving as PNG files.

- Fast. But, with a layout so bugged that i cannot use the "rename" function. At least on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
- Eleanor Toner

- tank you

- Does not allow saving PDF files when they are opened. When clicking on link to a PDF file shows an error "Custom scheme URI not allowed."
- Judy Orcutt
- I have already wasted a lot of time and by reviews, I had better not waste any more.

- Doesn't work for a 168 MB file!!!
- Russell Taylor
- Doesnt work. I have it installed in Comet by Perplexity, and also Google Chrome. On Google Chrome it gives an error. "Image capture failed (The extensions gallery cannot be scripted.); Image capture failed (Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.)"
- Alex MacEwan
- Doesn't work

- I used to use this all the time. Using it with the Edge browser it will not work directly by choosing to save to Google Drive and choosing Print to Edge it won't show up any longer as a choice. I just spent an hour and nothing works. I also cannot get any developer information.
- Crystal Jones
- Doesn't work on Chrome or Edge browsers. Too bad.. I find the few recent reviews that it works hilarious and contradictory since many of the recent reviews confirmed my suspicions that this plugin no longer works.
- ZuZu Tefera
- good
- Darren Woodford
- Always saves to PNG whatever format you select and send feedback button doesn't work. Would be nice if there was an option to select destination folder and/or format each time you save.
- Collins Gachuki
- Reliable and worth the experience
- Iaana Kakkar
- very bad app does not let me use it because I have an HWDSB email
- Nicholas Cates
- No longer works. Your best bet may be dragging URLs into the local GD folder.
- Victor Wade
- No longer saves .mhtml or .pdf files to drive. Saves .png instead.
- Cloude Blak
- Would be perfect if not for the fact that I'm not able to save as webpage as .html, despite having chosen the setting in the option menu. It is only downloading as a .png file.

- Hatte eigentlich selten Probleme damit. Seit kurzem aber lassen sich keine Chromeshots mehr erstellen. Stattdessen kommt diese Fehlermeldung: MAX_CAPTURE_VISIBLE_TAB_CALLS_PER_SECOND edit/ 27.01.2025: Ich fand die Erweiterung immer sehr praktisch. @Google: gibt es keine Möglichkeit die Extension wieder zum Laufen zu bringen?
- Pamela
- A good feature can be "Saving to PDF"!
- Rainer Schütz
- It's a convenient feature I enjoy. Two wishes however: offer "save as pdf" in the options, even though you just wrap the png into the pdf - it creates trust, because everyone knows pdf and many don't know png. The second request: there should be a way to automatically store the source link of the page "saved" with the image/mht etc. files... Maybe in file-properties? It should be easy to find out, where a "saved" html document came from. Thanks for your consideration.
