What is a .gLink file?

A .gLink file is a Chrome extension file that can be used to create aliases for URLs or shortcuts to external files. It is a small text file that contains the alias or path to the external file, as well as some other information such as the file name and icon.

To use a .gLink file, you need to have the gLink Chrome extension installed. Once you have the extension installed, you can create a new .gLink file by clicking the "Create new rule" button and entering the alias or path to the external file. You can also give the file a name and choose an icon for it.

Once you have created the .gLink file, you can open it by double-clicking on it or by right-clicking on it and selecting "Open with" > "gLink". If the .gLink file is an alias to a URL, the gLink extension will open the webpage in a new tab. If the .gLink file is a shortcut to an external file, the gLink extension will open the file in the default application.

.gLink files can be a useful way to improve your productivity by allowing you to quickly access your frequently visited websites or external files. However, it is important to note that they can only be used with the gLink Chrome extension.

Here are some examples of how you could use .gLink files:

• Create an alias for your work email so that you can quickly access it from any device.
• Create aliases for your social media accounts so that you can quickly check them without having to type in the full URL.
• Create aliases for your favorite news websites so that you can stay up-to-date on current events without having to search for them.
• Create aliases for your favorite online tools and resources so that you can quickly access them when you need them.
• Create shortcuts to files that are stored on your desktop, shared files, or network files so that you can easily access them from Google Drive.

Overall, .gLink files can be a useful way to save time and improve your productivity.
