Use drag and drop to move files from your Chromebook’s internal storage to your Google Drive storage online or a connected external storage device.Ĭlick the Google Drive folder in the Files app and select Offline to view files your Chromebook is caching offline. If you’d rather save a file but remove it from your Chromebook’s internal storage, you can upload it to your Google Drive - ideal for smaller files - or connect a USB drive or SD card and move it to there.

All of your downloaded files appear in this list, so you can easily delete the largest files you no longer need. Click the Size column to sort by size and you’ll see the largest files near the top. Open the Files app and select “Downloads” to view your downloaded files. For example, if you have a 16 GB Chromebook, you won’t have all 16 GB available - some storage space is used for your Chromebook’s system files.

Note that you won’t have the Chromebook’s full storage capacity available for personal files.
