Save to OneDrive

Save to OneDrive is two things:

• A Chrome extension that allows a Chrome user to find content in his or her browser and save it to his or her OneDrive root easily.
• A HTTP service API that backs the Chrome extension

Using the Chrome extension

Pre-requisites

• the Google Chrome extension installed

How to use it

• Pick a website. I like https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=seahawks.
• Find an image. Right click on the image and click on “Save to OneDrive > Save image to OneDrive”. Since this is Pinterest, I had to click on the image first to make it bigger.
• Sign in with your MSA.
• Give the app permission to access your OneDrive if you haven’t done so in the past.
• Wait while the app downloads the content to your OneDrive. Or don’t wait (close your browser) since the process is async.

1. Download the extension code to the well known location where you had previously loaded it.
