14 - Apps & extensions
Because your Chromebox 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 Chromebox. 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.
