Send files from Chrome directly to your drive! DevFest Zurich 2012 Hackathon project

StoreToDrive is a small tool that lets you store files* that you see on websites onto your Google Drive™ with a single click from the context menu.

This extension is a result of the GDG DevFest Zurich 2012 Hackathon, where it won the first prize. It's a collaborative effort by Misha Kupriyanov, Gerwin Sturm, Anatoli Leuchanka, Jean-Marie Bise and Martin Matysiak.

The extension uses the great OAuth 2.0 library for Chrome Extensions by Boris Smus (Google): smus.com/oauth2-chrome-extensions

To use the extension, right click on the file you want to store and select "Store on Google Drive". A notification will appear once the file has been stored.

Change Redirect for OAuth to a custom one

Just a suggestion concerning the usage of the OAuth 2 library by Boris Smus.

The idea is that you create your own adapter (or just change the redirectURL in the google.js) that uses a custom redirect URI which simply can be an empty page on your server.

The way the library works is that a content script on this empty page will redirect the OAuth access token back to your extension. If there are multiple extensions using the standard URL (http://www.google.com/robots.txt) the first content script to fetch the access token will keep it and other extensions using the same library won't be able to get it.

(I had some fun debugging this issue when I was experimenting with several extensions using the library in all of them...)

Extension name

Not sure if ChromeToDrive as extension name works with Google's branding guidelines. Any ideas for a better name?
