I love Google Docs. My wife and I use it for almost everything. We organize our finances, track thank you cards, and do things like create diagrams about how useless things are. The irony.
Because of this constant use of gDocs, I was looking for a browser extension to Chrome that would allow me to list the documents I'd recently work on which I could then click and get something done, in a new tab, without having to launch a new tab and click the document. Since I also wanted to learn about Chrome extension programming, I made my own extension to do just that.
Interestingly, none of the code is mine. It's actually one of Google's well written examples. It was, though, a good visual learning tool which my wife and I now use for document access. If you're starting in Google extension programming or Google app programming, I think it's an excellent jump off for understanding oauth. In my opinion, it makes oauth much less cryptic as well as visually showing how items are connected to make a Chrome extension. If you're not a book reader but instead a monkey-see-monkey-do kind of person, I highly recommend it.
As an aside, if you're looking for simple file upload and hosting, check out Media Fire if you haven't already. You literally drag want you want to upload onto the page and then copy the resulting link to it.
