FolderDrop: Save Web Pages & Images to Google Drive Folders (“FolderDrop”) is a Google Chrome extension provided by its independent developer (“we”, “us” or “our”). It saves the web page, image or linked file you choose into a folder of your Google Drive. This Privacy Policy describes how personal information is processed when you use the extension (the “Service”).
FolderDrop is an independent project. It is not made, endorsed or operated by Google. Google Drive is a trademark of Google LLC.
Notice to users in Türkiye and Europe: see the Notice to users in Türkiye and Notice to European users sections for additional information.
What the Service handles on your device. The Service reads a page only after you click its toolbar icon and press “Save to Google Drive”, or choose one of its right-click menu items. It does not read pages you don’t save. It handles the following on your device and sends it to Google Drive as described below:
.mhtml file that Chrome makes from the page, with its text, links, styles and images.Anything visible on a page you save as a PDF or screenshot, or present in its HTML, is included in the file. That can be any personal information shown on the page, including information about other people. Don’t save pages that show information you don’t want in your Google Drive.
FolderDrop uses Google’s per-file permission for Google Drive (drive.file). With it, FolderDrop can only see and change the files and folders it created; it cannot read any other file in your Google Drive. The Service never sees your Google password: you sign in on Google’s own page.
Information you provide to us. If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message (communications data). This is the only personal information we, the developer, receive.
Automatic data collection. We do not automatically collect any data about you, your device or your use of the Service. The Service contains no analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry.
The Service does not use cookies, pixels, or similar tracking technologies, and it does not show advertising.
Google sign-in and Google Drive. The Service works through your own Google account. When you press “Connect Google Drive”, Chrome opens Google’s sign-in window (accounts.google.com), where you choose an account and approve FolderDrop’s access to the files it creates. Google then gives the Service an access token, which it uses to call the Google Drive API (www.googleapis.com) for you. Files you save are stored in your Google Drive under Google’s own privacy policy and terms, which you can find at https://policies.google.com/privacy. We have no contract with Google about your data and do not control how Google handles the files in your Google Drive.
We do not use personal information for analytics, personalization, marketing, advertising, profiling, or training AI models, and we do not create aggregated or de-identified datasets from it.

With us: we keep emails you send us only as long as necessary to respond to you and for any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, and then delete them.

Your Google access token is stored only in the extension’s session storage on your device and is sent only to Google’s APIs over HTTPS. It is never sent to us. Uploads go only to Google’s own upload address, and Google’s per-file permission keeps the rest of your Google Drive out of FolderDrop’s reach.
