A problem for almost every user

While they are worthy alternatives to laptops, there is one area where many Chromebooks fall short: storage space. While there are a few high-end Chromebooks that come with 128GB to 256GB of disk space, a large portion of budget Chromebooks come with no more than 64GB of storage.

Of course, you can expand your Chromebook’s storage with compatible USB storage devices like thumb drives and external hard drives. But what if you don’t have an external storage device? Or you don’t like carrying your flash drive around? We’ll show you six effective ways to free up space on your Chromebook.

When your Chromebook is low on disk space, Chrome OS will continually display a reminder or notification letting you know that your device is low on space. However, you don’t have to wait until you get this error message before you free up space on your Chromecast device.
