I can't understand why it uploads something when I open GMAIL in Chrome Browser.
You can see how it was uploaded in the image below.
Is anything being stolen from my computer?
Is there an option if I want to stop it?
Is it working against security?
Or I should let what is happening happen.
I am not sure but in my opinion, it will upload some information about your google account and computer information(physical address, IP address, location).
You can check other websites to check what happens in the beginning.

I am trying out Google Colab, but then I keep getting this pop up box that says:
Error
Could not access the resources needed to display output.
This is probably because third-party cookies are not allowed by your
browser.
NotSupportedError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker: The user
denied permission to use Service Worker.
While turn off Block third party cookies worked for me from here, I would like to keep the setting to be turned on at all times for the sake of our privacy.
Currently I will have to have another tab next to the Colab tab the so that after I have finished using Colab, I can turn it off right away and not to forget it. BUT I would have to do it every time I use Colab.
To solve this, I have tried to follow the chrome help guide and added https://colab.research.google.com and [*.]google.com to the Allow whitelist on Cookies. However the error pop up would still show. I also tried https://colab.research.google.com[/*], but chrome said its not a vaild domain.
Is there a way to allow Colab domain cookies for that?
The output cell is an <iframe> element. It has a url like
https://jbe1910iol-colab.googleusercontent.com/v2/usercontent/8b5e8f2bbe60490e/outputframe.html
So, you can try adding [*.]googleusercontent.com to the whitelist as well.
Not sure if it will work though. Hope it does.
For Google Chrome, go to the cookies settings page
Type this in the address bar
chrome://settings/content/cookies
In Allow section, click add button.
paste this [*.]googleusercontent.com
That's all.

I have a number of images in Google Drive and I am wanting to use them in various ways via the direct link style:
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=DOCID
In Chrome I am logged into three different Google accounts, my corporate one, my personal one, and one other. If I navigate through the Google Drive interface to my files in the corporate account I can see them fine. If I use the form https://drive.google.com/open?id=DOCID then the Google Drive interface opens properly with the image displayed. However, when I try to access the file directly using the uc?id= URL style above I get a 403 error.
"403. That’s an error.
We're sorry, but you do not have access to this page. That’s all we know."
I have tracked this down to being because when I use this URL form, for some reason Chrome or Google Drive are using the wrong authentication credentials - i.e. the ones from my personal account even though this file is in my corporate account.
I've proved this by firing up Firefox, which isn't authenticated to any account, logging in as my corporate user, and then using the URL above: bingo, the image is displayed.
So my question: is there any way to force the URL style above to use the correct set of credentials when accessing the file?
You can use drive.google.com/u/1/uc?id=DOCID or drive.google.com/a/mycorporatedomain.com/uc?id=DOCID
However, do not rely on these URL's not changing in the future.
Log out of all the accounts and only log in just one needed account. This works for me. The google free 15 GB is good since I can always create new email but difficulty in downloading file give drop box an edge.
I am making a form right now and i have a bit of a problem. HTML doesn`t support mail-sendings without a downloaded email program. But is there maybe a way to not just send an email but send a message instead that can be converted to email? Is there any service out there that supports this idea? I know that PHP would be the solution, but i only have access to a HTML/CSS only server. Please help me out.
You could try using an iframe for this. But you would still have to get a php file. However, you will have to host it from somewhere else. Maybe google drive? Or smth like that.
Not as far as I know, but if the website user has Gmail binded to the "mailto:" protocol there's no need for an installed software, it will redirect him/her to Gmail with the email address of the recipient already filled in
I have an page with some forms. All the links work fine in IE. They open in a new tab nicely when the hyperlink is click by the user; however, I realized that when Chrome is use the link doesn't open. I keep clicking but nothing opens. The only way of opening the file is copying the hyperlink, opening a new tab in Chrome, paste and go.

Is this something that browser do? Because I tried it with FireFox and doesn't work either?
It there a way of going around? without installing anything in the browser? Because my user loves Chrome.
Thank you in advanced for the responses.
You can't access to files outside your server or "SandBox", sandbox include the files that user push to the browser or to your server.
If the access from browser to a pc files from web pages was possible, it would be a security problem.
The answer is that you can't with your approach and more importantly you shouldn't. Chrome behavior is in fact the right behavior and it protects you from having malicious users and/or scripts accessing your local resources.
The FILE protocol will access local or defined network named resources which will not be available to a remote user that visits the same page. In other words, you may have outsideserver mapped as a network resource/drive but someone else will not (This does not apply to IPs)
Here's what you can do:
Move the code to a server side script(php, asp, etc) and stream the file back out. Found a quick example here on SO. I did not verify it though. Streaming a large file using PHP
Install a webserver on outsideserver and map a new site to the shared folder. You can then reference it via http (http://outsideserver.com/form1.pdf)
Use the below extension for chrome. It will work.
Enable local file links
Below both options are working and tested.

I'm following https://developers.google.com/drive/web/manage-sharing#launching_the_google_drive_sharing_dialog_in_your_app to add a "Sharing" dialog to my Drive app.
It works perfectly when the user is logged into gmail with a single Google account. If they log in to gmail with a second account, the ShareClient in my app no longer works. Instead, it says "Sharing is unavailable at this time."
To be clear, the change happens after interacting only with gmail, NOT with my app. I guess the problem happens because the share dialog doesn't know which user to default to.
Does anyone have a way to make this work? I would be happy to specify a google id, but ShareClient doesn't seem to have any settings exposed besides appId.
This is an issue we are currently aware of and will fix.
There isn't really a good way for you to work around it at the moment, so hang tight until we address it.
