File Shares on Chromebook
I have been trying to get my chromebook (pixelbook) to add file shares for the USB flash drive plugged into the router for some time now. According to everything I have read, once the file share has been added to the pixel book, I can access it just like any other file on the pixel book. Sounds good.
Here is what is working. I can see the USB drive on my windows machine (XP, 7 and 10) no problem. Using the app File Explorer on the pixelbook, I can access all the files on the USB flash drive.
So you say, What is the problem?
The problem is that in order to email a file from the USB flash drive, I need to copy it over to the pixel book using File Explorer. It would save so much time and agrivation to be able to just attach the file on the pixelbook to the email. If I could get the USB flash drive on the router to be added to File Shares I could do this.
Windows machines can see this USB flash drive and the File Explorer app can see the USB flash drive, but not the chrome operating system.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
