# Storing and Sharing web resources in google drive I am used to using tools that allowed you to store web resources (URLs) just like they were any old file and share them accordingly with my team. I'm really missing this functionality and have resorted to just storing links in google docs, has anybody found a decent alternative to this? ##### Post Metadata - Posted at: over 11 years ago - Author title: Vice President, Solution Engineering at ThreeKit - Net upvotes: 1 ## Comments ### Comment 1 Microsoft makes some good and some trashy products. OneDrive is one of the good ones. Just right click on a file, click share, enter email id's in the subscreen and click create a shareable URL. And voila, it works. Instead of shareable URL, you can directly send them this file too. I work for a consulting firm, and it really helps me share a lot of heavy documents without having to wait for them to send. And best of all - all security remains in my control. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: Senior Consultant at Deloitte - Net upvotes: 1 ### Comment 2 You can do so by saving them in the google drive through the free chrome extension.This will save the web resources in the google drive.You can share them from there with ease. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: Accountant at KCB Bank ### Comment 3 https://nordvpn.com/blog/google-docs-alternatives/ Zoho Office looks promising. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: CTI Resource Associate at Fayette County Community Action Agency ### Comment 4 Almost all programs that share files on the web have that option, I recommend PlusTransfer, unlike the competition is that this is you who decides when the download link expires. This makes it possible to have any document stored on your server for quite some time. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: Analista de sistema en Servicios Globaleye Seguridad ### Comment 5 There are several programs that will allow you almost the same functionalities, among them I recommend Dropbox, you have to take some time while you adapt to review all the funcinalities it brings you, however when you have the necessary knowledge, you will get much benefit. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: asistente de ingeniero en Constructora SAMBIL ### Comment 6 Save the webpage to your computer as normal then go to new- upload new file and browse your computer to add it to your drive. Not sure if this will serve your purpose ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: Teacher at Anderson School District Five ### Comment 7 As the "super admin" for a ~200 user company on GSuite, we use Google Drive to publish lists of links in a few ways. Perhaps the simplest for your purpose as I understand it would be to make a google sheets file with a table containing the links and the friendly description then make a column with a formula that combines the two into an URL using the HYPERLINK function like this: HYPERLINK(A2,B2)...then hide the variable columns and publish the sheet or else make the HYPERLINK formula in a separate sheet and publish that sheet as a (public or login required) web page that you could embed in a google sites or other content manager. Does that make sense? If you are interested I can post a link to public example pretty easily. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: IT Manager ### Comment 8 What about Evernote and its ilk, like DevonThink? They capture pretty much everything. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: Senior Graphic Specialist at The Fantastical ### Comment 9 I would recommend you use Google URL Shortener but their services are discontinued. I highly recommend using DropBox, Google Keep for Chrome Extension, Adding Links to Reading List for MacOS, and/or Saving links to your Notepad while adding it to your Documents on Google Drive. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: Corporate Recruiter at Stillwater HC ### Comment 10 You can do so many things with DropBox. You set up your company or team, then you can each have a folder or just 1 for the team. You add any and everything you could possibly need for your business. You can add and share Powerpoints, add URLs, add a picture from the web, anything!! It's amazing!! TRY IT! ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: Account Manager at Victory Foods ### Comment 11 You can save links with the free Chrome extension Save to Google Drive. You can find it at the Chrome Web Store. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: Prepress ### Comment 12 I have gotten into the habit of utilizing Google Keep. It allows for the sharing and snipping of websites on a shared page. I also use it for progress checklists and part/materials lists to share with my groups ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: Education Professional at Keansburg High School ### Comment 13 printing it to pdf may help ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: almost 7 years ago - Author title: Development Lead, RPA Business Analyst and Solution Architect using RPA technology mainly UiPath. ### Comment 14 If you go to a website, right click, select print.
