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. If you continue, some files may take longer to load. Connect your iPhone to computer > Run iTunes > Click Photos tab >Check Sync Photos > Select the folder with the photos downloaded from Dropbox > Click Apply to sync photos from Dropbox to iPhone. 4) Choose Clear Cache from the popup menu. 3) Scroll down to the bottom, then tap the Clear Cache option. 2) Tap the Settings button in the upper-left corner (it’s a gear pictogram). You can, however, add a Dropbox folder to this left panel to make it easier to access your Dropbox Files. 1) Launch Dropbox and tap the rightmost Account tab at the bottom. 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.
