(Before It's News)

There are somethings that aren’t Android specific that we feel still need some attention. Since Google and Android work together, you have access to Google Drive on your device, many of you use both Chrome and your Android phone together, this is a fairly relevant post. A new Google Chrome extension has been released by Google for all to use and love. It is called ‘Save to Google Drive and it does exactly what you think it does.

The new extension is available for free via the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, you can save documents, images and HTML5 audio and video directly to your Google Drive account with minimal effort. Are you looking a picture of cool new product? Right click and “Save Image to Google Drive”. It is quick, it is simple and it beats the heck out of saving it to your PC then transferring it to your Drive account afterwards. I gave it a shot with a few images and various download links for files and it saved just fine and I was easily able to pull them up on my Samsung Galaxy S III.

Save web content to Google Drive.

The Save to Google Drive Chrome extension helps you save web content to your Google Drive.
* Adds a browser action to save the current page.
* Adds a right-click context menu to save hyperlinks, documents and media.

This extension allow 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. The format of saved HTML pages can be controlled with the 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.
