- (2019-03-16) isogino: 引用テキストが、GoogleDriveに保存されるのは便利です。 ただし、webページのURLは、ローカルのGoogleDriveに保存されません (web上のGoogleDriveには、owlsee.comへのリンクがついています)。 一方、owlsee.comのサーバーには、保存したテキストやURLへのリンクが保存されます。 気になるのは、owlsee.comのサーバーからデータを個別に削除する方法が分からない点です。 ※アカウント自体をcloseすると、owlsee.comのサーバーから、テキストやリンクを全て削除することができるようです。その場合もGoogleDrive上のテキストはそのまま残ります。 GoogleDriveに置くテキストに引用元URLが記載されて、 owlsee.comのサーバーに保存されたデータが個別に削除できるようになると、いいなと思います。

- (2017-05-17) sripathi pp: All words and paragraphs are merged into one another without just producing,copying the text as it is,instead. The overall look is so untidy and downright ugly that the text saved immediately repulses the reader at the very first look itself.It could have been improved much,alas.

- (2014-04-07) Cercunnin Vishnu: In principle I like what this extension does. However I think that something as sensitive as one's google account, which can contain a person's entire life is not the sort of thing that should be put into a third party's hands. If Google themselves made this then I would be more accepting but i have no knowledge of owlsee.com. Aside from this rather worrying quibble I am not sure that google drive is really the place to save webpages in this manner. The sort of place in which notes would be better housed is a notes app like one note or evernote. It is easier to put notes into those sort of programs as they are designed to be navigated with such contents. Google drive by comparison is rather basic and is better served by using for more traditional files.

- (2013-07-29) yashodhan ramteke: Needless access to user data should be avoided so there's less possibility for privacy violations or concerns. I've uninstalled it.
- (2013-03-03) JUDGE MENTHOL: Why should I trust Owlsee? I don't even trust my granny
- (2013-02-14) DeeAyeWai Fan: I don't understand why you need to cache the document on your server in order for it to ultimately be processed client-side and then saved on Google's servers. Needless access to user data should be avoided so there's less possibility for privacy violations or concerns. I've uninstalled it.
