Difference between Drive and Files apps
Google Drive
is a web-based storage service offered by Google, and
the
Files
app is the onboard storage system for your Chromebook.
Because your Chromebook 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 Chromebook. 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
