Install Arkyvst and sign in

1. Install Arkyvst from the Chrome Web Store (use the Add to Chrome button on the Arkyvst homepage).
2. Open drive.google.com. Arkyvst appears as a sidebar on the right.
3. Click Sign in and choose your Google account.

One sign-in covers everything

Arkyvst uses a single Google consent screen that covers both signing you in and granting Drive access, so you won't see two separate prompts. On that screen you grant Arkyvst permission to read your file metadata and manage the files you tag — never the contents of your files. For exactly what that means, see What Arkyvst can and can't see.

Using more than one Google account

Arkyvst supports multiple Google accounts on the same Chrome profile — a personal and a work account, for example — as fully separate workspaces. See Use multiple Google accounts.
