I liked this a lot when I first started using. However, it just keeps asking me to log in to drive and when I try to do so , It get"something went wrong"message. BTW I have tried using this extension without first being logged in and still get the same crap. Waste of my time. Lost all of the notes had previously. Tried in both latest vgersions of FF and Chrome.
