Can I Copy YouTube Music into Google Audio Drive?

Yes, you can copy YouTube Music into Google Drive, but you first need to extract the audio and download them to your device. Since YouTube protects their contents with DRM, you cannot download them as local files or transfer them to other places. However, you can use some online converters or dedicated YTM converter like ViWizard YouTube Music Converter. Keep reading to get the detailed instructions.

Part 1. Save YouTube Music to Google Drive via Extensions

One of the simplest ways to save YouTube Music directly to Google Drive is by using browser extensions. Here we recommend you to use Save to Google Drive which is compatible with Chrome. In this way, you don't need to install any software to transfer YouTube Music to Google Drive. Follow the steps below.

  1. Open your Chrome and search for Save to Google Drive extension.
  2. Once you enter the detailed page, click on Add to Chrome button, then it will be displayed at the Extensions section.

Note

Most extensions don't support downloading in batches. Also, most music files are in MP3 files with relatively low sound quality. Thus, you'd better use a dedicated YouTube Music converter if you have a large amount of music to save or you are in high demand on the sound quality.
