Save PDFs from Chrome Directly to Google Drive

When viewing a PDF in the Chrome browser, you can now save the file directly to your Google Drive. This eliminates the need to download files to your computer before uploading them to Google Drive.

How to Get Started

1. Open your PDF in the Chrome browser. At the top right of the PDF viewer, click the Save to Drive icon (it looks like a Drive triangle with a plus sign).
2. Select your Google Account.
3. Click Save.
4. Once the upload finishes, click Open in Drive in the confirmation message to view your file.

Note: By default, these files are sent to a specific folder in your Drive titled "Saved from Chrome." You can move them from there to your preferred folder at any time.
