Good to know
A whole-notebook archive unzips into Markdown files you can add selectively, instead of uploading everything.
The extension creates files on your computer. It does not sign in to Claude, and nothing is sent to Claude until you import the file yourself.
Free or Pro?
Free, with no daily export quota and no website account needed. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
