How to enable Google Drive on Google Docs right now?

You can now enable Google Drive for Google Docs which is under testing for limited audience. With Google Drive, you can store your documents, media and other files on Google’s Cloud.

If you’ve been following some news about Google Drive’s integration, you would have probably heard about its integration with Google Docs. This has been a very long rumor of Google, for about five years.

Google have been truly working on this feature for long on their cloud. And now, the feature is in limited testing. Gemind, a Brazilian technology website has managed to unlock this feature with some Chrome tricks. The steps below will enable this hidden feature inside your Google Docs itself.

Once you enable this option, you will be presented with an option, “Download Google Drive”, that would enable you to download the Google Drive into your system (Probably). Some features are still restricted only to Google Employees, but this seems to be working for some users.

Here’s are the steps to activate Google Drive on your Google Docs account:

1. Access Google Docs and open the Developer Tools in the Chrome browser (View -> Developer).
2. Now, click ‘Scripts’ option on the Developer Tools and make sure the current file is ‘program’. Now, search for config [‘cookieFetchElement’]  and then click the line number in the sidebar to ‘lock’ that code instance and make it a breakpoint. [alert_box type=”Info”]You might find it on line 365.[/alert_box]
3. Hit the refresh button on the browser.
4. The code would however remain the same since you have set breakpoint and have freezer the code currently.
5. Click the ‘Console’ option on the Developer Tools and copy and paste the following code:config.ed = true; config.ddu = ‘.’;. This would make Google Docs believe that you have access to Google Drive since the Bool is True. 
6. Go back to the Scripts and click play button. You should see an option called Download Google Drive.
