This post is part of Who's at Google I/O, a series of guest blog posts written by developers who appeared in the Developer Sandbox at Google I/O 2011.ĭuring the day 2 keynote of Google I/O, I was excited to see Box's integration with the Chromebook's file browser handler getting demoed on the big stage.

Otherwise, our note will disappear.By Jeremy Glassenberg, Platform Manager, Box Obviously it is not the most comfortable thing in the world, since we must be careful not to close the tab. We just have to open the browser and write in the search bar: data: text / html, a blank screen will be opened directly where we can start writing. We even have Google Keep pre-installed for that feature, but what if we tell you that you can write notes from the browser? Google Chrome helps us with this with a simple address in the taskbar, adding yet another function to the Chrome utilities catalog. Use the browser as a notepadĪt times, we have felt the need to download applications to jot down short notes as a reminder or simply because we need to jot something down quickly. However, and in case you have not paid much attention, we can only view content or play, we cannot copy anything to ensure that any file is not damaged. It is true that the design is not the most innovative and is somewhat obsolete, but it is also very functional and is useful for viewing folders. With this system we can view all types of files, including multimedia content in the form of videos, images or playing sounds, and all without leaving Chrome and with a very PC-like static. We will see how a warning appears on the screen to grant Chrome permission to access the system files and in this way see what is the content of the internal memory of our smartphone. With that order we will make Chrome work as a file explorer. The browser will ask you for some permissions that you can accept by clicking on "Let" and it would be ready. You must open Chrome and in the address bar write File: /// sdcard /. It is only necessary to enter the command that we are now going to detail. In order to activate this function, we will not even have to use the "flags" function, which is usually a frequent resource in this type of functions.

In this case, it is enough to add the mathematical operation that we want to perform in the address bar so that it performs the calculation and gives us the result. We can use the address bar as a calculator basic.

The case of this function is similar, since it has not been undertaken on mobile devices, but was already in the edition for computers, although it is available in a different way.Īnother task that we can do and that is imported from PC is to perform mathematical operations. Certainly, that is not the case, since both this and other functions are imported from the PC version of the browser, present several years before. The logical thing is to think that it is a function exclusively launched for mobile devices due to the aspect of always having a file explorer.
