How to install the Droopify Chrome Extension in Chrome: it is not on the Chrome Web Store and must be added manually.

Before you start

  • You use Google Chrome on a computer (macOS or Windows).
  • You are logged in to Droopify in the same Chrome profile where you install the extension.
  • What the extension does: Chrome Extension.

Installing the Chrome Extension

  1. In Droopify open Settings > Preferences & Tools. In the Tools panel, under Chrome Extension, click Download now: you download the DroopifyExt.zip file.

  2. Move DroopifyExt.zip to your Desktop.

  4. Open the DroopifyExt folder: it must contain the extension files. If you find another DroopifyExt folder inside, move it to the Desktop and use that one. You can now delete the zip, but not the folder.
