Making an drive app open new pages in same app

I have made an app of google drive using the Brave app function. I can easyli change between different accounts and it still stays in the app. But if I open a document, instead of opening a tab in the app, it opens a tab in my brave browser. Is there any way to change this behaviour?

I believe that this is because when you open the Google Doc, you’re leaving drive.google.com and are instead visiting docs.google.com. You can try adding docs.google.com as an app too to see if this causes opening a doc from Drive to open in the installed Google Docs “app” but I’m not sure this will work either, as I’m not sure there is a way for apps to communicate between one another in this way.

yes your probably right. And the docs.google.com does not have the install option, so thats not even a solution.

@bobhund if you go docs.google.com and click (in Brave) Menu --> Save and Share --> Install page as app you can still install it as an app, even though icon it doesn’t appear in the address bar.

yes thankyou. Even then it opens the file in its own brave tab. But now I at least know :+1:

@bobhund yeah figured that would be the case but figured it was worth a shot anyway.
