Can Google Chrome Replace Your File Explorer?

Do you use Google Chrome as your default web browser? 

Do you ever find yourself switching between your web browser and your file explorer?

Here's a Cool Tip: use Google Chrome as a file explorer.

That's right, you can use Chrome to browse your local files, just like you would with Windows Explorer or Finder.

Using Chrome as a file explorer is a great way to quickly and easily access your local files. 

It's also a good option if you're looking for a way to open files that your default file explorer can't open.

Here's how to use Chrome as a file explorer:

  • Type "c:/" (without the quotes) into the Google Chrome address bar
  • Press Enter
  • This will open a window called "Index of C:," which is an index of all computer files found on your C drive. 
  • From there, you can browse through the folders, much like using File Explorer or Finder.
  • Double click on the "Users" folder to find your login.  Your files will be here in numerous folders, including OneDrive if you are using Office 365.

  • This will open the PDF file in Chrome.
  • Try using Chrome as a file explorer today!

One Simple Cool Tip to Boost Your Productivity with Chrome Windows

Google Chrome
Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers in the world, and for good reason. 

It's fast, secure, and packed with features. 

One of those features, a Cool Tip, is the ability to name your Chrome windows. 

Why do this?

You can organize your chrome windows and tabs logically.

And give each window its own unique name.

Each Chrome window can contain many tabs and you can move tabs from window to window to keep them organized.

This can be a great way to keep track of different windows, especially if you have a lot of them open at the same time.

To name a Chrome window, follow these steps:

  • Right-click on the title bar of the window you want to name.
  • Select Name Window from the menu.
  • Enter a name for the window in the text box that appears.
  • Click OK.

Here are a few tips for naming your Chrome windows:

  • Be descriptive. The name of the window should give you a good idea of what's inside it.
  • Use short names. Long names can be difficult to read, especially when you're switching between windows quickly.
  • Use consistent naming conventions. This will make it easier to find the windows you're looking for.
