A very basic one. I use Google drive a lot. It's a pain to go to Drive link and then look for the recent files and open it. So, I wrote a Gmail sidebar add in for the same. [1]

It does two things: 1. List the files in order of last modified or last opened. This way I can list 25 latest files and go to the ones opened by me. (no folders needed, just the last opened ones).

2. With last modified date, tells me when the file was modified last. (useful if you collect data in sheets from forms or other stuff, tells you when you have a new lead). Also tells you when the colleague you share a file with has edited it or not.

I wanted to enhance it with adding more stuff like: show diff, so I know what has changed. And then, show the content from a doc right here in sidebar, because well it's easier to type a mail by looking at that.
