Sometimes gives error, sometimes does nothing at all.

Pas de possibilité de sauvegarder dans son Drive le lien vers un PDF sur le web, comme je l'espérais. De plus, malgré le paramétrage des options, enregistre une page web en .png et non en .html comme demandé. Enfin, l'enregistrement se fait à la racine de Drive, n'offre pas la possibilité de choisir un répertoire où faire la sauvegarde.

after trying it, it became an image. I even thought it would be a shortcut link like in Windows, if it's like this, you can't even access the website, you can only “watch” but not “go to”.
