I have a hard drive at my desk that I attach to my Chromebook when I "dock" it for work. It has music stored on it so I'm not likely to need any of the files while I'm away from my little office space. If I did need to have some documents on hand all of the time, that hard drive isn't the best place to store them. Right now, Android apps aren't installed on the removable storage in Chrome.
That should be soon changing, and when it does, you'll need to have your SD card in its slot to use any app you've installed that way. A thumb drive or hard drive isn't going to be a great option if you let Android apps use the removable storage on your Chromebook. Apps like Netflix and Hulu allow for downloading shows for offline viewing.
However, if you only have a small amount of built-in storage for your Chromebook, having more storage available because of a good SD or microSD card for Chromebook for those downloads can help a lot.
Here's how to enable this for your apps. In the next screen you'll see recently opened apps and if the app you are looking for is there, choose it. Otherwise, click on see all apps. Follow these steps to enable each app you want to allow access to your microSD storage. Now, when you want to download shows or movies from your favorite apps, you'll have more room to do so. This thumb drive offers fast and reliable storage with the flexibility of traditional USB type-A as well as new type-C connections.
Not all SD cards are created equal, and this option from Samsung brings speed and secure storage for all of your files. When you have large files that you want to be able to back up securely, this external SSD from Samsung will do it extremely well. You get free Google Drive space when you set up a Google account, and most Chromebooks also get you a bit of extra storage free for a year.
Your Google Drive will appear in the Files app just like flash storage or local storage does. While Google Drive is the defacto option for cloud storage on Chromebooks, it isn't the only choice — you can use any service that lets you interface with it through a web browser.
Some, like Dropbox, also have extensions that bundle them into the Chrome files app the same way Google Drive is. That's super-handy because it's seamless. You can use your cloud space just like it was a local folder. You might have to wait a few seconds for things to upload properly once you place them in the Google Drive folder, but it makes for an easy way to store a lot more than you can locally. Advanced users that have a home network with attached storage can set up Windows or Samba sharing and use the Chrome OS Files app the same way through an extension.
This gives the same benefit of "unlimited" storage space but allows you to keep files out of the cloud if that's how you would rather work. If you keep everything in Google Drive, you don't have to worry about backups. That's what I would recommend, especially if you're not really a "computer person" and just want to make things simple. If you don't use Google Drive for all things, you'll want to remember that you should always have at least one backup of every important file you own.
Two backups of every file is even better. You have a couple of great options available to you when it comes to backing up files from your Chromebook. Just plug it in and wait for a second or two for your Chromebook to see it and set it up, then copy things over like you normally would. All you need to do then is remove the card or drive and store it somewhere safe.
You can back up important files to Google Drive, even if you normally don't use the service. It's just like copying files to any local folder, just choose the Drive storage space and create any folders you need for backups. Even if you have extra space for a year and decide not to renew it after, anything you store in Google Drive is always available. You just can't add any new files once it's full.
To use another online storage service, you can upload files through the company's web interface. When given the opportunity to choose a file for uploading you'll see the Chrome files app, and it works exactly as you would expect.
