    The remote that comes with it works great for me. I'd use an old version of ES File explorer for side loading and I use local files rather than the cloud, but otherwise I use basically the same method. This method (the one you use) is especially good for you because it's much easier and easier to explain.

    Pretty demented that Google TV comes without Chrome or the possibility to install it (and Drive, Keep, Calendar etc) from the Play store. Even the cheapo FireStick lite features a Browser and I can say "show my calendar" and it does, after connecting it to my Google account (it took one Minute to do so). I can't understand all those 5-Star-Ratings.

    Still dont understand why chromecast wont let you log onto a network that is either unlocked or that you have the password for, but you have to go to a sign up page in a browser i.e. logging in as a guest on a businesses network or if your in a hotel and have the wifi password after you input password you are taken to a browser page to click sign in or whatever. Firestick does it with mo problem after you have type in the wifi password ,amazon firestick immediately opens its browser to the networks sign up page. So frustrating i travel alot and instead of lugging around my ps5 its just easier to use stadia but find myself more so than not being screwed because of the bullshit a8gn in pages google cant get past. Literally every other streaming device can do it but not google , and stadia although can be side loaded onto a few of the other streaming sticks plays like garbage usually unplayable, works brilliantly on chromecast ultra or chromecast with google tv

    Not sure if anyone's told you why yet, but the reason it doesn't appear in your apps is because it's a mobile app, not a tv app. That's why the remote doesn't work with it too and why it's not available in the play store. You'd think it'd be a top priority for google to get chrome on this, but i guess not.
