Apps & extensions - 17
Google Drive
All files saved to your Google Drive are saved online and are
accessible to other devices, such as your smartphone or tablet. Files
saved to the Downloads folder are saved to your local drive and are
only accessible to your Chromebook Tab.
Difference between Drive and Files apps
Google Drive is a web-based storage service offered by Google, and
the Files app is the onboard storage system for your Chromebook
Tab. Because your Chromebook Tab makes heavy use of the web,
you can easily access files both from Google Drive and those that are
stored locally by using the Files app on your Chromebook Tab. To use
the Files app, select the Files icon in the apps list, or use the keyboard
shortcut <Alt> + <Shift> + <M>.
This user manual uses Google Drive and Files interchangeably when
giving instructions regarding accessing files.
