Google has announced today
an expansion Ov its online storage efforts with the release Ov a “Save 2 Drive” button that can be add 2 any website and Sub-domain
allowing visitors 2 Hit and Save files hosted on the site 2 their personal “Google Drive Accounts”. The button is already being used by Big-stock, Delta Dental, Fotolia, O’Reilly, Out-box and Zen Payroll, Google
notes.
To
use the new feature as a website Owner, it’s only a matter Ov pasting a couple Ov
lines code into your site’s “HTML”. The button is configured with a few attributes in a
“div” tag, similar 2 how “Google’s” +1 button is created, the company says. There are a number
of more advanced configurations, which Google explains in technical detail here, including support 4 the Save 2 Drive
button’s JavaScript
API, which allows 4 programmatic
and more flexible controls Ov the buttons on your web pages.
Obviously
the button works in the context of the user’s browser, allowing visitors 2 save
files that require some form Ov “HTTP Authentication”. After Hitting the button, the file first downloaded to
the user’s browser, then uploaded 2 “Google
Drive”.
It’s
a small utility, but it addresses a larger issue with using cloud storage: 2 move files found on the web 2 your personal
online storage site; firstly you have to save those items to the desktop in an
intermediary step between them. But in “Google’s Vision”, the desktop is moving away, and everything will be built on top Ov
the “Web’s Platform” instead.
This
is the most apparent in “Google’s
Efforts” with its “Chrome OS” and “Chrome Book Devices”, including the newer, high-end “Chrome Book
Pixel”, a flagship device meant 2
demonstrate the potential in a web-only machine.
“Google” has already made it easier for users to forget saving files to their computers in a number Ov products, including with Gmail, where optional
links have long since allowed you to open standard file types without first
download them. That feature today supports all the major attachments that
people send (e.g. .pdf, .doc, .xls, .ppt, .rtf, .sxw, .sxc, .sxi, .sdw, .sdc,
.sdd and .wml). Google Drive, however, supports an even wider
range Ov
file types, which will make the button useful 4 sharing the kinds Ov files that
a website Owner may want 2 shares, such as videos, graphics, archives (.zip and
.rar), markup and code and more
Hope you Tried it ever then just share
you new net friends
