Google is working on a new feature for its cloud-based Chrome OS. The company is testing a storage manager for Chrome OS, the feature has been added to the latest developer release of the OS. Google added a major feature to Chrome OS just last week, it finally got the ability to access Android apps and games, opening up a world of new content to people who use devices powered by this OS.
This simple feature will help Chrome OS users find out the total capacity of their device, free space available, and the space that has been consumed so far. The storage manager breaks down space consumed in offline and downloaded files.
It may not be the best storage manager there ever was, but at least something is better than nothing. Chrome OS users had to previously use an app to get all of this information but now a native storage manager is going to make things much easier.
Chrome OS users can find the storage manager in the latest version of the OS, however, it has to be enabled. Punch in chrome://flags/#enable-storage-manager and restart Chrome to use the feature, it will then appear under Chrome Settings > Storage.
It’s likely that the feature will be further improved in the future.
