Guide: How to Save Text Files and Images Directly to Google Drive
I’ve been spending so much time in Google Drive lately, using it as a replacement for Microsoft Office, that finding fun and interesting ways to use it has resulted in finding some very useful extensions. If you are going to use this service often, it is best to speed it up up with add-ons or shortcuts. Google Drive is so useful, we were sure how to even use it offline. Today we’re looking at three Google Chrome extensions that make it easy to save web or online content to Google Drive. These extensions can be used directly from any website and make saving images or text very easy. You can right click on an image and immediately save it to Google Drive. In addition, there are two extensions that allow online articles to be saved as PDFs or image files. Let’s take a look at them one by one.
Save text to Google Drive
Save text to Google Drive allows plain text to be saved directly to Google Drive. Download this extension here. On first use, you must accept that the extension can use your Google Drive account. Click the extension icon in the Chrome navigation bar to open the window above and manage what text you want to save.
Any word in the Content or Title text areas can be changed before the file is saved. After saving, the file will appear in the Google Drive.

Send to Google Drive
Save any page directly as a PDF with Send to Google Drive. Download this extension here (UPDATE: this tool is no longer available). This extension works by sending the URL to PDFCrowd.com and then saving the converted file directly to your Google Drive. Each page can be saved as a PDF and you can download the file to open it in a PDF reader or view it in Google Drive.
Save to Google Drive
Save an image or URL to Google Drive with Save to Google Drive. This is Google’s own extension and can be downloaded here. Right-click on an image and click Save image to Google Drive. The file is created in the root of the Drive account, as seen here:
Note: Do you also want to save files in Dropbox? View this post. Change the default save location from the extension’s settings. Select Change destination folder and select a different default folder.
You can also save links with this extension, which will save the whole page as an image file. Just click on the icon in the Chrome bar and it will scan the entire page and save it to your disk account.
The (usually very long) web page is saved as one large image that you can then download or view in the browser.
Conclusion
Whether you are saving images, text or entire pages at once, these extensions are perfect for use. A side effect of these great add-ons is that your Google account will get clogged up with tons of cool images and articles, which isn’t a bad result after all!
