Removable Drive Menu For Linux

GNOME Shell extensions are not exactly known for stirring up the deepest emotions out there. Their simplicity is what typically makes them somewhat boring when compared to other types of software, however, despite their size, they can prove to be life savers.

What's most amazing about GNOME extensions is that one by one, they have the power to change your experience with the GNOME desktop environment.

Take a look at Removable Drive Menu, a simple, unobtrusive, and not impressively useful GNOME Shell extension that adds a small icon in the top menu of your computer's OS.

As its name clearly states, upon clicking said icon, you're provided with a compact menu that allows you to quickly unmount removable devices. Ok, so, is this small GNOME shell extension a must have? Will it make improve your experience with GNOME by a tenfold? Probably no, and probably not.

Even by GNOME Shell extension standards, this is an extreme exercise in simplicity. However, that's not to say that it's not useful, quite the contrary. It may be little, and it may seem "meh," but the fact of the matter is this: if you are constantly dealing with removable devices, then having a quicker way to unmount them is without a doubt quite useful.

Removable Drive Menu is a nice little GNOME Shell extension that will prove itself extremely useful for those who actually need it. Sure, some extra functionality, and some customization options would have been nice, but we can't really fault it. After all, it does what it says on the tin, and that's all that matters, especially when talking about a GNOME Shell extension.
