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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

shinvee15 anni fa

If you login to the chrome browser, all of your extensions are automatically installed.

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.

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?

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.

It's by antimatter15, not Google.
