Where is the location of the downloads folder on a ChromeBook?
I just downloaded a chrome app called 'Terminal' so that I can connect to a remote server via SSH. This works perfectly, but when I need to use a .pem file to connect to an AWS instance, I need to include the path to the Downloads folder where the file is stored. I've been using the ls
and cd
commands to sort of snoop around the machine to see what's on it and I can't seem to find where it is. It's also a bit funny that inside of the ~/home/lnlance09/applications
folder nothing shows up despite the fact that I have several different apps installed.
Solution 1:
/home/chronos/user/Downloads/
file:///home/chronos/user/Downloads/ will show contents in browser

Solution 2:
First you must enable "Linux Sharing" on your Downloads directory. Just right click on the Downloads directory, you should see the option. Then your downloads should be available at :
/mnt/chromeos/MyFiles/Downloads
I hope this helps.
