FolderDrop: Save Web Pages & Images to Google Drive Folders

Save web pages to Google Drive as a PDF, a full-page screenshot, a web archive (.mhtml) or an editable Google Doc. Right-click any image or link to save it to Google Drive too, straight into the folder you choose. It’s made for collecting recipes, articles, receipts and research, sorted into folders as you save.

Features

• Four formats for pages: a PDF that looks exactly like the page, a single-file web archive (.mhtml), a full-page PNG screenshot, or an editable Google Doc.
• The folder you want: pick My Drive or one of FolderDrop’s folders, or create a new folder right from the popup. Your last choice is remembered.
• Your file name: edit it before saving.
• Right-click saving: save the original image or linked file, with progress and the result shown in the corner of the page.
• Clear messages: every error says what happened and what to do, with a Try again button.

How to use

1. Click the FolderDrop icon in the toolbar and press Connect Google Drive, then sign in with your Google account.
2. Pick a format and a folder, then press Save to Google Drive.
3. Open the file with Open in Google Drive.

To save an image or a linked file, right-click it and choose Save image to Google Drive or Save linked file to Google Drive.

Questions

Why don’t I see all my Google Drive folders? FolderDrop uses Google’s per-file permission, so it can only see the files and folders it created. That keeps the rest of your Google Drive private. Create the folders you want with + New folder; they show up in the list from then on.

Why does FolderDrop say it can’t save this page? Chrome doesn’t let extensions read its own pages (such as chrome:// pages), other extensions’ pages or the Chrome Web Store. For files on your computer, turn on “Allow access to file URLs” for FolderDrop in chrome://extensions.

Why can’t I select the text in my PDF? The PDF is made of pictures of the whole page, so it looks exactly like the page. To get editable, searchable text, save the page as a Google Doc instead.

Why does FolderDrop ask to read files from a website? Some sites don’t share their images and files with extensions. The first time you right-click save from such a site, FolderDrop opens a small window that asks for access to that one site. You can remove it later in chrome://extensions, under FolderDrop › Details.

It says my sign-in expired. Google sign-ins last about an hour. FolderDrop tries to renew them quietly while you’re signed in to Google in this browser. If that doesn’t work, click the FolderDrop icon and press Connect Google Drive again.

Part of a very long page is missing. PDFs and screenshots cover the first 20,000 pixels of a page. For the full text of a very long page, use the web archive or Google Doc format.
