Find out how to easily change where your downloaded files store on your Chromebook. Saving files locally is risky and I'll explain why. It's easy to get files to save to the cloud. The issue with this is it's hard to get into the habit of continuing to do this.
In this video I'll not only show you how to change your file location to the cloud. I'll also show you how you can make it really easy to remember to keep on doing this in the future.
Avoid saving files locally because you run the risk of losing them. This method will replace your downloads folder into the cloud. By pinning your downloads cloud folder to your file manager. You will have easy access to your downloads.

I lost a heck of a lot of photos on my ancient Chromebook with that password scenario. I have now safeguarded against that issue. Thank you so much. :)

I learned a couple things from your video: 1) the whole need for OLD Google password / encryption deal. I had forgotten about that. 2) The pinning of Google drive folders so they show up easily in Files as a separate entry. Thanks!

How do I get the 'pin to folder option'? I right clicked but no option for pin folder appeared only open with, download, rename, share, organize, file info, and move to trash. I tried Alt plus left click, Alt plus right click, shift plus left click, ctrl plus left click, but no pin folder option is available.

So does that mean that the Chromebook will download a file then automatically upload it to drive and then remove it from the internal storage ?
@ChromeComputingTV

If you're changing the folder to one located in Google Drive, then it will save in Google drive. If you need it in your downloads folder, you would then need to download it from Google drive.

There has been a bit of a change to how things look. Have a look around because it may be somewhere different. I can't imagine they would have removed it but I've not looked so unsure. I'm sure you'll find it if it is still an option.

It's not uncommon to forget passwords during highly stressful life events like death of loved one, major surgery, severe illness, divorce, etc. The password may not be available to be recalled until days after the stress resolves. Been there, done that, twice.
@ChromeComputingTV
@ChromeComputingTV 2 года назад
Yes, I totally agree. Really easy to forget a password you've been using for years. That is why they are so frustrating.
