User Case

 

I'm in search of a Google Chrome extension capable of effortlessly saving web pages directly to Dropbox in PDF format. Ideally, I'd like the extension to allow for easy saving via a single click on its icon next to the address bar, or through a simple right-click option on the page itself. I want to streamline the process and avoid the hassle of manually saving pages as PDFs and then transferring them to my Dropbox account.

The MultCloud “Save Webpage as PDF” extension is what you are looking for. It is a free Chrome extension that supports converting a webpage into a PDF and directly saving a PDF file to various clouds, including Dropbox Personal and Business.
