Google cuts through, releases "Save to disk" feature for Chrome

The team Google Drive Tuesday, announced a new extension for Chrome called "Save to drive," which connects the activity browser directly in the user Google Reader cloud storage account and eliminates the need for third-party extensions provide functionality.

Before today's release, an extension from the prestigious MIT under the name "save to disk" is available. Now, Google has borrowed the name and made available in the Chrome Web Store. The search giant takes the concept much further however.

You can right-click on an image or a link to save the file to your Google Reader account and this extension implements a drive icon to the top in your menu bar. Clicking on it will have an overview of the entire web page. The experience can be a little strange the first time try you it. When we tested it, our browser is apparently out of control, so erratic scrolling to the bottom of the page on its own.

Once this is done, a prompt to choose a folder in which to save the file is displayed. The first time you will need to 'access' for the extension to access your account Google Drive. At this time there any web page will be saved as a.PNG file.

According to Josh Hudgins, Google Drive Product Manager, "there are also some new ways to work with images that you store already in the drive." You can now zoom by scrolling or by using the new 'fit to page' and 100% buttons. "And if you have something to say about a specific portion of an image, you can select a region and adds a comment."
