Since both extensions share same base so it is obviously safe to use both of them because Google is still watching out everything.

You can do this now.

Hope it helps!

Is Extention asking for this permission?

vknow360 · July 29, 2022, 9:30am

No, it only adds permissions to the manifest.

sherif_hassan · July 29, 2022, 9:48am

@vknow360
I think the app will not be accepted by google

vknow360 · July 29, 2022, 10:44am

Why do you think so?

Anke · July 29, 2022, 1:34pm

Even if that were true (which I doubt), it wouldn't have anything to do with these permissions.

For a survey app which is used to collect voice responses from users, can I use this to copy the voice response files from app to my google drive?

vknow360 · February 10, 2024, 7:09am

Yes, but that would be quite complicated. As first you'll have to upload file to user's drive and then share with your gmail address.

Instead, you should use this extension:

It will upload file directly to your drive.
