Chromebook Tips: Finding Your Downloads on a Chromebook |
A Chromebook has limited hard drive space. Occasionally, a document may need to be downloaded to your device. Screenshots and PDFs will also be in the Downloads folder. To locate your Downloads folder, follow the instructions below.
1. In the lower left corner of the screen, click on the circular icon (the Launcher) and look for the blue Files folder. If you do not see your Files folder, simply type "Files" in the search at the top.
2. In the pop-up box, look for your Downloads under My files.
3. All screenshots and downloads stored will be erased if there is ever a need to reset your Chromebook. The best practice is to store everything in your Google Drive which will not be erased in the event of a reset.
