Clicker Apps for Chromebook

Using cloud storage

Cloud storage is a folder on the internet that you can access from any device. You can open / save files to this folder just like any other. Saving a file using one device will automatically sync it to your other devices (e.g. save a file from a Windows PC and then open it on an iPad).

You can also make certain files / folders available to other people (on a read-only basis or with full editing control). These will then appear in their cloud storage for easy access.

Google Drive

Chromebooks have built-in support for Google Drive, a cloud storage service included with your Google account.

You can access the contents of your Google Drive whenever you're using the Chromebook's Files app.
