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. 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. If you’re asked for an administrative username and password. Follow the instructions in the install wizard. Do not right-click or command-click Run as an Administrator. If you already have Dropbox installed, uninstall the application. 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. Install the Dropbox desktop app with admin privileges. There is no reason to severe a long and meaningful relationship with Dropbox just because Google Drive is baked into Google's Chrome OS. The following Chrome 72 won’t show any warning and code injecting will always be blocked. If blocking is unsuccessful, the warning will still be shown after Chrome restarts and allows injection. Buying a Chromebook doesn't necessarily mean you need to make Google Drive your cloud-storage boo. Chrome 69 (due out at last update) will block the software from injecting code into Chrome processes.
