Project Detail
Universal Cloud Saver
A Manifest V3 Chrome extension that saves images, videos, and files from any website straight to Google Drive—no Downloads folder.
The Brief
Website → Right-click → Google Drive → Done.
Universal Cloud Saver is built for people who constantly save references from the web. Instead of cluttering Downloads and re-uploading, the extension sends media and files to Drive in one gesture—with type-based folders and a queue that survives Manifest V3 service-worker restarts.
There is no product backend. Google OAuth via chrome.identity uses least-privilege drive.file scope; a Clean Architecture StorageProvider keeps the upload core ready for more clouds later.
Technical Architecture
Manifest V3
Service worker, context menus, alarms, and chrome.storage power capture, queue durability, and options sync.
React + Vite
Popup and options UIs with TypeScript, Zustand, Zod, and Tailwind—built via CRXJS with HMR during development.
Google Drive API
Multipart and resumable uploads behind a StorageProvider interface—browser → Drive, no proxy server.
One job: save without leaving the page
Context menus handle the fastest path; the popup covers quick save, progress, and recent history; options stay dense but clear for power-user folder and duplicate rules.
