Web-Based Formats
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript: For web development.
- PDF: View and annotate PDF documents using Google Docs or other web-based tools.
- DOCX, XLSX, PPTX: View and edit these Microsoft Office formats using Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
- JPEG, PNG, GIF: View and edit images using web-based editors like Pixlr or Canva.
Local Formats (with Limited Support)
- TXT: Plain text files can be opened with the built-in text editor.
- ZIP: Unzip files using the Files app.
- MP3, MP4: Play audio and video files using the built-in media player.
Cloud Storage Integration
Chrome OS integrates seamlessly with cloud storage services like Google Drive, allowing users to access and manage files stored in the cloud directly from their desktop.
Example Usage
- Editing a Document: You can open a DOCX file from Google Drive in Chrome OS, edit it using Google Docs, and save it back to your drive.
- Viewing Images: You can upload images to your Google Drive and view them directly in the Files app on Chrome OS.
For enhanced file management and storage capabilities, consider using Tencent Cloud's services like Tencent Cloud Object Storage (COS), which offers a scalable and reliable storage solution for various file types.
