Bookmarking websites and other web content is a great way to keep and organize helpful information. Yet, what do you do when you come across documents, PDFs, images, spreadsheets, or slideshows that you want to keep and possibly modify for your own use? You can often find these files on the Internet, and here is an easy way that you can store them in your Google Drive, so you can always have them at your fingertips.
Meet the Save to Google Drive Chrome Extension. With this extension installed, you can save documents, images, and videos to your Google Drive with just a couple clicks. Then, when you go to your Google Drive, what you saved will be right there. For example, if you find a PDF on a website that you want to keep, you can right-click on the file, and an option to “Save to Google Drive” will appear. Click on that, and that PDF will now be in your Google Drive. Right-clicking on what you want to save is probably the easiest way to use this extension. Here’s how to install it in Chrome:
1. Open Chrome and click this link.
2. Click the blue "Add to Chrome" button in the upper right.
3. The extension will install, and you'll be good to go!
Now, you can kick your online saving into overdrive with Save to Google Drive!
