Marking chrome extension as "Works with Google Drive" - google-chrome-extension

I developed a chrome extension Hyperbook saver that works with Google Drive to save images and texts. How do I enable "Works with Google drive" feature for it.
I couldn't find any flag in developer Dashboard or manifest.json file. Please help.

In your Chrome extension manifest, you just need to make sure you have:
"container": "GOOGLE_DRIVE",
"api_console_project_id": "your developer console project number here",
See this manifest as an example: https://github.com/googledrive/zipextractor/blob/master/cws/zipextractor/manifest.json

Chrome Extension Development Home Screen Changing

I am trying to develop a chrome extension like Symbaloo Search that changes the home page. I tried chrome-settings-overrides but it doesn't work on Chrome OS. It would be helpful to get a Manifest v3 answer too! Thank you.

Where can I see if my chrome extension is enabled without opening the browser?

I have an extension loaded into my Google Chrome and I’d like to be able to tell whether it is enabled or not without having to open Chrome and go to the extensions page. Is there a way to do that?
If that matters, the extension is located in the appdata/local/Google/chrome/default/extensions folder.

Chrome extension deployment

I have developed a chrome extension and i always use developer mode to debug. Now I want to deploy it. Is there a way to install extension per chrome profile? and I wonder how to get the extension id?
1:extension ID can be found at chrome://extensions.like this:
2:I have no idea about your words "install extension per chrome profile". any way, if you want to use your chrome extension without developer mode. just use the"pack extension" button in the chrome extension page. you will get a crx file. to install it, just drag and drop it in you chrome.
you can also publish it to chorme web store. see here. then you and any other could easily install your extension frome chrome web store.
Firstly to deploy your extension on web store you must have google developer account which costs $5.
Secondly the chrome extension id which you see while developing extension in your pc is different from what you will get when you have deployed your extension on chrome store.
Basically when you deploy your extension,chrome store ask you to upload the zip of your extension folder not the crx file.Also note that it will not give you any .pem file like you will get when you pack your extension locally.Chrome store will maintain the same extension id on each updation.
Note that you cannot update the extension with the same version.You must increment the version number on each updation,otherwise chrome will show error on updation.

"Edit source" button for Google Chrome extensions

I'm looking for a way to quickly test and debug Google Chrome extensions. Is there any way to add an "edit source" button next to each extension on the Chrome Extensions page, using an extension?
The TamperMonkey extension allows all installed userscripts to be viewed and edited within Chrome- this is the best "work-around" that I've found for this problem so far. I don't yet know whether it can synchronize scripts between Chrome installations - hopefully this feature will be implemented soon.

Is there a way to access files in "Google Chrome" folder via Google Docs API?

The "Google Chrome" folder stores Chrome synchronous information such as bookmarks. I was just wondering if there is a way to access those information via the Google Docs API?
I've look at the demo provided by Google but it doesn't seem you can access that folder via API. The demo that I looked is here, if you click "Folders", it returns all the folders I have(including all subfolders) but just not the "Google Chrome" folder.
Also, any ideas what format are the bookmarks stored in "Google Chrome --> Bookmarks" folder?
Thanks.
Unfortunately, Chrome folder isn't accessible at the moment via Docs API. This problem has already been issued:

Sorry if this wasn't the answer you were looking for. However, this feature could be implemented in a future, so stay alert.
