No way! The sidebar was the only reason to switch from Google drive to Notion. Fantastic. Will try out.

This is it!!! I'm hooked to this as I have 2 accounts..I finally got rid of the waste in my drive and gave structure to my files. Thank you, Ali (for Poet.so too)- I would pay for this + any reason, why is this FREE?

Great concept! A few requests: * Shortcut for search (or if it already exists, what is it?) * Ability to search for folders * Ability to view folder contents in the frame on the right (sidebar is great, but for some cases the normal folder view works better)

@jeff_wong2 Hi Jeff! Thanks for the great suggestions. I decided to not include a folder view because there were some limitations on Google's side - They don't allow all files to be viewed inside an iframe. For e.g. selecting a file inside a folder view would lead not "Access denied". I tried adding a shortcut for search, but all the major browsers blocks keyboard listeners when an iframe is focused. I might experiment with doing a Google Chrome extension as a way to work around the iframe restrictions.

Hi, this looks neat and exactly what I need, but I can't seem to log in to use it. Do you know what potential causes may be?

@chichi_93 Hi Chii! That's odd. Could you by any chance take a screenshot of your browser console when that happens and send it my twitter? twitter.com/rang_ali

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 While using Google Drive it can sometimes feel they're behind in user experience compared with apps like Notion. I've always felt that I'm less productive while working in Google Documents, spreadsheet, etc. Partly due to having a hard time finding what I look for and that my files quickly become a mess. That's why I decided to build Sidedrive. It adds one of the features I miss the most to Google Drive - a sidebar to let you quickly jump between files while working. Some of the things you can do with Sidedrive 🗄 View your file & folder structure from the sidebar. 🖐 Re-arrange files your files with drag & drop. 💡 Quickly add new files inside folders. 🔍 Built-in search with thumbnail previews. ⚙️ Accessible Context menu with common file actions. I hope you like it and feel free to share any feedback. Thanks!

This is awesome! Thank you for making this! Would be nice if I could select multiple files to drag and drop. Don't think I can even do that in Notion but noticing now that I have this great sidebar, my files need some clean up. :)

@sarah_wright7 Thanks, Sarah! Glad you like it. That's a great suggestion - I'll see what I can do. Shouldn't be too hard to implement.
