Useful but why do you have to click the "launch drive anywhere" button every time on opening? And should be able to quickly open the drive website from the extension...I don't have any avatar displayed to click on

As of January 2021, this extension doesn't work. The following error message is given when trying to add to Chrome: This app is blocked This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access.
