Unique features are included for presenting photos in galleries or presenting thumbnails for all folders. All of your content can be streamed from the website as well.
Overall, the Use-your-Drive plugin does exactly the same things as the other download managers on this list. The main difference is that all files are stored in Google Drive. Therefore, if you already use the free version, or pay for the premium version of Google Drive, this plugin makes sense for your download management.
