Open, Save, or Delete FilesOur Chromebooks only have 16GB of space, so you're going to want to be careful with how you store your files. Almost all files should be saved in your Google Drive. This will help keep space on your Chromebook. The drawback to storing files in the cloud is you cannot access those online files if you are offline (with the exception of Sheets, Docs, Slides, and Drawings), so you'll need to save important and necessary files to your Chromebook for offline access. You can learn how to open, save, and delete files by visiting this site.
