English version: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/omiekjeapoonbhieme...

Or just delete the "?hl=ko#" at the end of the orginal url. It had me really confused for a while.

Didn't work for me with Dropbox. Saved something to my Dropbox, but the file it saves wouldn't open properly.

Ditto here with PDF => Google Docs

Worked fine for me. Tested with that same PDF, and with a random JPG, both with gdocs as the target. This extension will be absolutely awesome on my CR-48.

Works fine for me. Just uploaded the Quantum Entanglement PDF from the front page of HN onto my Google docs. I can see this being big.

Great to see that the Chrome Web Store's URLs aren't any more usable than when it launched.

"Oh, my app? It's at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/omiekjeapoonbhieme...

No wonder they want to hide the URL bar in the new Chrome!

Doesn't seem to include a filename - there's talk of not needing a file system, and while you can save data without a filename, it's harder to load the correct data if you don't know what it is.

Or... could searching be the alternative? And perhaps tagging? Like gmail for docs. If your document includes a title that's unique, then that string is sufficient to identify it. You could also list them all with a very brief preview, if you've not quite sure what you're looking for (browsing).

Right-Click -> Save As -> Dropbox will let you change the filename and Save.

By our very own antimatter15[0] who happens to also be 16 years old now. Has also released lots of other cool things for the web like the Ajax Animator[1] and an excellent article[2] on the whole VP8 vs H.264 video wars that clears up a lot of misinformation. His Github[3] is very impressive.

A neat idea, but somewhat unnecessary for me personally as a DropBox user. I can just save locally to disk and it will appear in DropBox.

It is useful if you're using a computer that is not yours.

mbesto• 15 years ago

A computer that isn't yours that you have to download an extension and provide a user login?

Is this Googles answer it iCloud? A context menu?

Ugh, I wish I could delete the above comment. I made it as I was in a hurry to leave.

Is this Google's answer to iCloud? A context menu?

It's by antimatter15, not Google.

You weren't being downvoted for the grammar — rather for not bothering to click through or at least hover over the link and find out that's not actually on Google.com, but rather on a Google Site for antimatter15.
