When I click to create text file in a folder, the app still saves it in root folder and forces me to select folder manually. This is unnecessarily tedious.

Mozilla Firefox 105.0.1 (64-bit): после установки приложения и повторной авторизации при его запуске при открытии документа появляется сообщение об ошибке "Something went wrong. Sorry, something went wrong there. Please try again". Учетных записей в Google несколько, если это имеет значение.

Works pretty well as a basic text editor. I don't use it for code so can't comment on the code-specific features. Main irritation is the completely unnecessary "Are you sure?" prompt to save a document, while closing the app's tab or window just blows away your work without a prompt or a chance to recover. Isn't this backwards from the way it should work? UPDATE: Also problematic is the periodic app request to reauthorize access to Google Drive, whose settings show it already authorized. Worse, clicking the Login and Authorize button fails, with no way to intervene and fix whatever has gone wrong. That's pretty annoying.

Can't get it working. I'm using Chrome browser on Ubuntu PC. "You've opened a file in Google Drive with Text Editor. This will allow you to view and edit the file." And then: "Loading... Loading..." forever.

Meh. Very basic, tries to be more than what it can actually be. If it concentrated on just being a nice clean simple notepad it would be perfect. But it makes a half-hearted attempted to be much more. Too bad, I really want notepad.exe for Google Drive!!!
