About Google Drive Smart Preview

Tired of endlessly opening and closing tabs just to check a file in Google Drive? Boost your productivity with Google Drive Smart Preview! This extension streamlines your workflow by allowing you to instantly preview files in a floating, resizable, and movable window—all without ever leaving your current view. It’s the faster, smarter way to navigate your files. --- ✨ KEY FEATURES: Instant In-Page Previews: Simply click the left side of any file to open an instant preview. No more waiting for a new tab to load. Seamless Navigation: Click another file, and the preview window instantly updates with the new content. Browsing through documents has never been this smooth. --- ⚙️ HOW TO USE: 1. Navigate to your Google Drive file list (drive.google.com). 2. To preview a file, click on the **left half** of the file row. The preview window will appear. (Clicking the right half performs the default Google Drive action, so you don't lose any original functionality). 3. To move the window, click and drag its header. 4. To resize it, click and drag the bottom-right corner. 5. To close it, click the '×' icon or press the `Esc` key.
