To restore directly from the cloud after losing a hard drive (or for any other reason), launch Chrome and sign in to the browser so all of your extensions and settings reappear. Right click on the Tabs Outliner icon in the extensions list and select "options", or click on the gear icon in the Tabs Outliner window in the buttons section. Navigate to the "Backups" tab. Find the backup you want to use, and click "View". At the top of the new window, you will find a node labeled "Current Session". Grab this and drag it to your Tabs Outliner window which should transfer everything over. Now everything should be pretty much back to normal. If not, try the grab and drag again.
Even though Tabs Outliner calls the cloud backup "Google Drive Backup", I was not able to find a file or folder in my Google Drive that contained any backup data. I'm not sure where it is being stored, but it's definitely putting it somewhere that it can find. Just use Tabs Outliner to do the restore, and don't be frustrated if you can't find it manually.
