A digital signature from you would improve matters somewhat, but ideally there should also be a description of how to reproduce this image. It's also not good to be promoting Google Drive here, which requires non-free Javascript. I'm aware that IceCat includes an extension to allow Google Drive to at least partially work with LibreJS, but I was unable to easily get it to work on my IceCat configuration where I use NoScript instead. Thoughts? Mark
