0:08
preview delete upload files to your
0:11
Google Drive so this is actually
0:13
extension right here uh it's not a
0:15
official extension by Google but someone
0:17
has developed this extension Google
0:20
Drive so this is actually if you just
0:23
type Google Drive in the extensions tab
0:25
this extension which comes 42,000
0:27
installs with it I personally tried it
0:30
it
0:30
works and you just need to click the
0:33
install button first of all to activate
0:35
this extension so once activated this it
0:38

0:41
Google Drive and first of all I've
0:44
already activated this so that's why if
0:46
you seeing we are seeing all these files
0:48
in my Google Drive so after you
0:51
authenticate you will see all these
0:53
files of your Google Drive appearing and
0:56
you
0:57
can copy the URL or you can rename this
1:00
or you can download the file inside your
1:03
computer from your Google Drive so
1:06
simply save it so it is saying it is
1:08
downloading the file from your Google
1:09
Drive so once completed you will get a
1:16
notification so let me
1:18
