With Dropbox added to the file manager, it's easy to drag and drop files from the Downloads and Google Drive folders to Dropbox, and vice versa. The extension isn't from Dropbox but a Japanese developer by the name of Yoichiro Tanaka.Īfter installing the extension and granting it access to your Dropbox account, it will mount Dropbox to Chrome OS and add a Dropbox folder to the left panel of your Chromebook's file manager. Vault also autolocks after 20 minutes on web, and 3 minutes on mobile, ensuring your content stays protected if you step away from your device. To do so, you will need to install the File System for Dropbox extension from the Chrome Web Store. You can, however, add a Dropbox folder to this left panel to make it easier to access your Dropbox Files. These two folders contain your files stored in Google's cloud and locally on your Chromebook, respectively. When you open Chrome OS's file manager (click the Launcher button in the lower-left corner and click Files), you will see two items listed in the left panel: Google Drive and Downloads. You can always access Dropbox via the Web on a Chromebook, but a better way is to use a Chrome extension that integrates Dropbox into Chrome OS, putting it right alongside Google Drive. There is no reason to severe a long and meaningful relationship with Dropbox just because Google Drive is baked into Google's Chrome OS. Buying a Chromebook doesn't necessarily mean you need to make Google Drive your cloud-storage boo.
