Extension summary

A really simple utility that grabs the photos off any media you attach and uploads it to a new folder in your Google Drive "Photos" folder. I whipped this up for my dad to exactly match his previous Windows XP import wizard experience.

Connected to SD card but very very slow to import. Got 29 of 57 images/videos from card, then froze. Had remove checked, so all 57 have been removed from card, but I only got 29 onto Google Drive... :( Lost some good ones.
