About this extension
This extension intercepts Google Drive download links and redirects them to the native Google Drive preview/viewer page. It enables direct in-browser viewing of files (such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs) without automatic downloading.
Key features:
- Applies exclusively to Google Drive sharing/download links.
- Prevents unwanted downloads to your local device.
- Allows previewing content immediately; manual download remains available from the viewer interface if desired.
The extension does not store, upload, or modify any files—downloads occur only when explicitly initiated from the Google Drive preview page.
Open Source: GitHub
