Absolutely. You can do so with a USB, via e-mail (send to yourself), etc. But then again, you only have 16 Gb SSD. You'd be better off saving your photos and albums on the Cloud or an external hard drive. Using up lots of space in your SSD may compromise performance in the long run.

If you have as many pictures and other stuff as I did then, no. There is some storage space on the Chromebook but it is not meant to be a major storage device. I use my Chromebook as a tool that is light to carry, fast, and great for accessing whatever data I need. I store my data in cloud accounts online. My Chrome book is basically just an interface with a great screen for me. I actually much prefer having my info in clouds where it is accessible and share-able from any computer. If you want all your stuff local on your computer Chromebook may not be for you. Hope this helps.

The Chromebook is mainly for quick Internet access. A transfer of large files would have to go on the cloud because you have only 16 GB.

yes but store it on the cloud chrome book really just an internet machine to be honest with you

You can connect but won't be able to print because you can't put the printer driver/software on the Chromebook. Options include buying a Chrome Printer, or what I do is email myself the document and then print from my cellphone using an app called PrinterShare.

Yes, it will work with your Chromebook. Generally when shopping for flash drives you should not buy ones that advertise encryption or Sandisk U3 types with other software built in. If a flash drive does have hidden partitions or protected .exe you can always just format it in a Windows computer.

Honestly, I have not tried doing so. But, it would work if Chrome has some kind of built-in driver for the drive. Generally, it seems that Chrome has limitations and, while easy to use, is not as robust as MS Windows when it comes to settings and possibly to attaching devices. My impression has been that this is more of a cloud (internet-connected) type of setup. Though, you're welcome to try attaching an external drive. I'd be curious to know if the attached drive would work.

Well, I haven't used it with Chromebook, but what I can tell you is that on swiping a card, it redirects data to keyboard buffer - as a result if you can read teh keyboard buffer in Windows you can read teh data, a classic example is open NotePad and swipe the card and you would see the data. My gut says it should work, but obviously it needs to be tested !!! its not that expensive so worth trying !!!

can you use the camera and editing software on a google chrome laptop that doesn't have an internal hard drive?

No. That's the point of a chromebook - it has Chrome as a browser which is a very limited OS. Imagine using nothing but google chrome on your computer - no Microsoft Office, no Steam + Games, etc etc. The Chromebook is made for people who don't use the computer except for the internet. Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Hangouts, Amazon Prime, etc are all useable.

No, you use Chrome as your operating system. It is not limited in any way. It's got Google Docs to create documents, spreadsheets replaces excel, and you create powerpoints as well. The best part is, everything is saved every millisecond. So, even if your laptop suddenly shuts off while you're working, all your data is saved. Lost your computer? That's okay, since everything is saved and backed up online. You download apps to replace other little things as well, like games. Because it's web based, everything starts up quickly. Just open the laptop and you get to work. No more waiting for your laptop to load.

You cannot load programs into a Chromebook. It comes with the entire suite of Google office-like apps free.

That would be an unfortunate no, (unless you have serious soldering skills and can find a compatible unit). Go to Youtube and search Toshiba Chromebook SSD upgrade fail. The motherboard, as seen in the video, also shows space for an additional 2GB of ram. I have this Toshiba, and I also have an Acer C720 4GB (with upgraded 128GB SSD). For the way I use my Chromebooks, I can find no difference in performance between the two. If you want to add more local storage, the Toshiba does have a SD card slot that leaves none of the card sticking out (very nice). I started with a 64GB card but I just got a 128GB card (it was as much as the SSD I put in the Acer). I have no problems playing back 1080p video from the card. the only thing I don't like is that every time I log on the files app opens up because it detects the card.

This is a better question for Google, the drive is formatted in NTFS file system, The chromebook would reqire some sort of chromebook driver to work.

no idea. I am not in love with this laptop, mainly because of windows 8. I generally use my chrome book and an old laptop with an older windows instead.

I don't know, but I can tell you it is the worst computer I have ever had. It is slow, windows 8 is unbearable, and it is very fickle with the internet connection. I keep it because I need Office for work related things, but I avoid using it at all costs because the computer is painful to use. I would not recommend. I am currently using a Chromebook and love it, but unfortunately, I can not do many of my work related things on it. Look at other computers trust me!

yes it is, plus I'm using it with my google chrome book also, getting copy of pictures from old friends are a snap now thank you VuPoint Solutions.

As far as I know it is not, this cintiq came out quite a while before the chromebook. Also since chromebooks' operating system is internet based it may not even be installable. I'm no expert on chromebooks but I am pretty sure the answer is no.

I never could get my pictures to transfer unless I sent them to my son's phone and he took his card out and we downloaded the pictures off his card onto my laptop. Never could I get the cord that came with it to do anything but charge the phone.
