# Online Use
|
|
{: .no_toc }
|
|
|
|
Using [https://replayweb.page](https://replayweb.page), you can select a web archive file from a local file or enter their unique remote URL directly to load into the site.

## Browsing Web Archives via the ReplayWeb.page

### Loading Local Web Archives
|
|
|
|
From [https://replayweb.page](https://replayweb.page), use the `Choose File...` button. You can pick any local archive file from your computer to load for replay.
|
|
The click `Load` to load the file.
|
|
|
|
The archive is loaded in the browser directly and *not* uploaded anywhere -- it never leaves your computer!
|
|
|
|
The archive will be identified by a `file://` URL and is not accessible outside your browser. As expected,
|
|
this URL is not shareable.
|
|
|
|
{: .fs-3 .pad .bg-grey-lt-100}
|
|
This behavior is similar to how [Webrecorder Player](https://github.com/webrecorder/webrecorder-player) worked, but happens entirely in the browser. <br>The [ReplayWeb.page App](https://github.com/webrecorder/replayweb.page/releases) is also an option for [opening local files when offline](offline#replaywebpage-as-standalone-desktop-electron-app)

### Loading Remote Web Archives
|
|
|
|
To load a remote archive, simply enter the URL of the archive and click `Load`.
|
|
|
|
{: .fs-3 .pad .bg-grey-lt-100}
|
|
See [Supported Locations](locations) for details on where archives can be loaded from.
|
|
|
|
The archive will be downloaded, either fully or on-demand (if possible) and presented on the archive page.
|
|
|
|
The system supports WARC files, as well as several other formats
|
|
|
|
{: .fs-3 .pad .bg-grey-lt-100}
|
|
See: [Supported Formats](formats) for more details on supported formats.

### Loading Remote Archives from Google Drive
|
|
|
|
ReplayWeb.page also supports loading archives directly from Google Drive.
|
|
|
|
You would first need to integrate replayReplayWeb.page, but it's a fairly easy integration. And once integrated, you can use it to open .warc, and .warc.gz files directly from Google Drive using the following steps.
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to any WARC (.warc, .warc.gz) files or WACZ (Web archive collection) files that you have on Google Drive.
|
|
|
|
2. When you select the file, you should see an 'Open With ReplayWeb.page' option at the top.
|
|
|
|
3. Clicking on this should redirect to ReplayWeb.page and begin loading. Google Drive loaded archives will have a source URL starting with `googledrive://`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Install [ReplayWeb.page Google Drive Integration](https://gsuite.google.com/u/2/marketplace/app/replaywebpage/160798412227)
|
|
* This is a Google Drive Add-On
|
|
* Click install and Google will walk you through the steps of installation
|
|
* Once installed, Google will confirm the install and where to find replayweb.page in your drive.
|
|

|
|
Once an archive has successfully loaded, you will be redirected to the archive view from where you can explore the archive.
