I lost a heck of a lot of photos on my ancient Chromebook with that password scenario. I have now safeguarded against that issue. Thank you so much. :)
Your videos are very helpful and comprehensive. Thank you for posting. I have a query. Is it a better idea to save my files on Dropbox when using a Chromebook? If so, how do it pleas. Thank you in advance for your kind help.
I learned a couple things from your video: 1) the whole need for OLD Google password / encryption deal. I had forgotten about that. 2) The pinning of Google drive folders so they show up easily in Files as a separate entry. Thanks!
@@ChromeComputingTV Unfortunately, on MY Google drive there doesn't seem to be an option to "Pin Folder" ! I wonder why? Or if I'm just missing something...
Wish there were a text version or a summary of points. Hard to watch, review, and find the missing info lost in a video. Lot of good info here; worthy of writing it down.
How do I get the 'pin to folder option'? I right clicked but no option for pin folder appeared only open with, download, rename, share, organize, file info, and move to trash. I tried Alt plus left click, Alt plus right click, shift plus left click, ctrl plus left click, but no pin folder option is available.
If you're changing the folder to one located in Google Drive, then it will save in Google drive. If you need it in your downloads folder, you would then need to download it from Google drive.
I could not find a Pin Folder command in my drop-down list when I Right Click on a Folder on Google drive, I am on Version 111.0.5563.100 on my Chromebook
There has been a bit of a change to how things look. Have a look around because it may be somewhere different. I can't imagine they would have removed it but I've not looked so unsure. I'm sure you'll find it if it is still an option.
Hi & Thanks! My main issue is Chromebook Files does NOT have Link or Folder to Google Drive. Guess i could make folder Titled 'Google Drive', lol but imagine it will act no different than others. *BUT, PIN* folder to Chromebook File; Is That How One got there? if not, no worries, took 2 yrs to see it's not in files.
@@ChromeComputingTV LOL LOLOLOL 8|} OH W0W! i'm such an idiot, So Dyslexic! THANK YOU Many Times over! not easy for me to even follow directions as to getting to 'File Manager' - when I KNOW! Reading is Not my forte'. jeez, {{sigh}} i had 'Disconnect Drive' ticked. i think this was even mentioned in video. I'll learn one day. Again, Thanks for understanding my issue and helping with question. IT'S THERE! Cheers!
I've ample storage on my CB, so I thought nothing of file loss; I learned that everything is associated with your password after I did a recovery- oh joy...
@@ChromeComputingTV Question. Does saving this way make multiple versions of it like when I save something to my local drive it keeps making a new version over and over again? I end up having several updated versions of something.
@@ChromeComputingTV I have to ask this. I have gotten 2 Spin 713 2021 model and both make crackle sounds playing RUclips videos. Has anyone else had this issue?
It's not uncommon to forget passwords during highly stressful life events like death of loved one, major surgery, severe illness, divorce, etc. The password may not be available to be recalled until days after the stress resolves. Been there, done that, twice.

Thanks, I'm glad it helped. I did the same once and it was very annoying.
Another great video. Just gone and done this as I have always been worried about files saved on my Chromebook. Thanks.
Glad it helped

I have a query.

Google Drive is the better option as it's fully integrated into ChromeOS.
Thanks

Oh I see- I was looking in the ONLINE Google Drive. It's in FILES app that there is the option. I missed that.
THANKS! _and_ *TOUCHE`* on noting Pinning of file! You just Second Motioned my thought. Cheers!
@@WmLatin Has the FILES app disappeared? Or is it a new APP name now? (2024)

Whats the screen rec app you're using for these please?
So does that mean that the Chromebook will download a file then automatically upload it to drive and then remove it from the internal storage ?
If you're changing the folder to one located in Google Drive, then it will save in Google drive. If you need it in your downloads folder, you would then need to download it from Google drive.
Very well explained thanks😉

There is a link to Google drive from the file manager in Chrome OS.

Yes, I totally agree. Really easy to forget a password you've been using for years. That is why they are so frustrating.
Thanks
Thank you
