I have created a chrome extension to learn English that build a dictionary with source/translation, etc.

Now, I want to send this "file" (I will/would build a "file" with the dictionary entries) to Google Drive and use this file in my Android app.

But I want to save this file not on my personal Drive account, but in the Drive of the current user, the user who uses the chrome extension (if this user has a Drive account, of course).

In all the examples I found, they define the OAuth for "my" account ("my" = the chrome developer in the manifest.json, so, static).

Is there a way to save in the drive of the user?

  • I think you're misunderstanding the OAuth - it does indeed save in the user's drive - you however need to configure your extension as an app in your Google account - https://console.developers.google.com/project – Steve Campbell Dec 23 '15 at 02:19
  • hello, drive rest api (v3) allow to get and save file/folder etc. (with javascript) – user2219381 Dec 27 '15 at 11:00

Use the 'chrome.storage' API to store, retrive and track changes to user data.

Please refer to the link: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/storage

  • hello, no the answer is good, we can use the storage sync for save on google account but the problem is the limit quotabytes and the max items : 512, with a simple dictionnary we explose this limit. So, Xan is right, we can not use this solution. – user2219381 Dec 22 '15 at 20:18
