- Rated 1 out of 5by Monkey Do, 4 hours agoThe extension messes up the clipboard settings or whatever is related to the following problem. Even after deleting the extension and clearing browser's cache, cookies, and site settings, the text copied from Google Docs is forced to include tons of metadata. The copied text becomes simply unreadable and unusable for regular purposes. It is even reproduced within a fresh Firefox profile. I don't recommend the extension if you need to copy your notes from Google Docs.

- Rated 5 out of 5by TiLO, 6 years agoWas having issues with the Office doc Add-on - kept producing an error page when trying to open DocX files. This Add-on fixed the issue. Now I can view all docs and save directly to drive without having to download as PDF or some other file. Thank you.

- Rated 4 out of 5by gsm, 7 years agoWorks well, but the usability is bad. You can't control whether it will intercept the request or not. I'd like to have some “kill switch” to turn the add-on off temporarily, or perhaps some additional items in the context menu:
“Open this link with Google Docs viewer” (whatever the URL is) /
“Open this link as an ordinary Web site” (if the URL ends with *.doc but e.g. it is in the local intranet or requires authentication)
It would also be nice if it were possible (e.g. by using about:config if it is not trivial to implement) to tweak the service URL's or add custom ones.
I, for myself, once have hacked the same functionality using a configurable sharing extension: you right-click on a link and there you find “Share on Facebook”, “Send to Pocket”, “Send with GMail”, --and-- “Open in Google Docs viewer”.
