Features & Capabilities

Pinned Google Drive is a Chrome extension designed for seamless access to your Google Drive. Using the customizable keyboard shortcut Alt + Shift + D, users can quickly navigate to the pinned Google Drive tab. If this tab doesn’t exist yet, the extension automatically creates it for you, eliminating the need for manual navigation. Previously known as "GDrive Panel," it now leverages pinned tabs for improved functionality following updates in WebExtensions.

This extension enhances productivity by toggling between the pinned Google Drive tab and your previous tab with simple clicks or shortcuts. While the add-on modifies the default search engine and new tab behaviors, it offers a streamlined workflow for frequent Google Drive users who want instant access without the hassle of searching through multiple tabs.

User Reviews

Users like the add-on for fast, one-click access to Google Drive instead of bookmarking. However, multiple reviewers report serious issues: it changes the search engine (to marvelsearch), hijacks the new tab/homepage, takes control of browser tabs, and is suspected to be malicious or illegitimate. Many advise not to install and to report it; a few note older versions did not exhibit those behaviors.

Pros

Provides quick, convenient access to Google Drive (shortcut/new-tab launcher)
Preferred by some users over bookmarking for faster Drive access

Cons

Changes the default search engine (reports of it setting search to marvelsearch)
Modifies the new-tab/homepage address (unwanted new-tab hijack)
Takes control of tabs and browser behavior and may prevent reverting those changes
Suspected hijacker/not the legitimate extension — users recommend reporting and uninstalling

It's pretty good! It's even got a shortcut which is cool. Honestly this is much more convenient than book marking my Google Drive.

Is Pinned Google Drive Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Pinned Google Drive requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
