Hey ya'll. Just got my Chrome OS netbook, which comes with SD card slot and USB. I understand that I can't/don't want to save files from the netbook to the drives, but I would think it would be beneficiary to be able to plug an SD card in and upload pics to Picasa, or Box, or any other cloud app.

When I try to upload in Picasa or any other app I get a blank dialog box. I've reformated USB sticks and SD cards to FAT32 with no luck.

Thanks for the direction.

When you say you have just recieved a Chrome OS netbook, are you referring to the CR-48 or a netbook that you put Chromium OS onto? If it's just Chromium OS, did you install it on a USB stick, on your HD or are you using Vmware?

I got the CR-48 yesterday, and that's the Chrome OS question I had regarding. Doesn't it seem beneficial to be able to attach ext storage to upload to the cloud? Thanks.

I have gotten a Cr48 also, however I have not yet tried anything related to Picasa, I would expect, however, that it would indeed be useful. Have you enabled the advanced file system support in about:flags? It wasn't enabled by default here.

If you have, I would suggest firing up their bugtracking and reporting the issue.

This is exactly what I needed, thanks!

I turned on the file system support in about:flags but nothing comes up in Content Browser. This is a great start though. Can you browse a SD or USB with your CR-48?

Thanks!

I've been trying to access the sd card also. Where is about:flags?

Just type: about:flags in the browser address bar

Nathan, are you getting any SD or USB to post correctly?

Enabling Enhanced file system got the sd card and usb drive to show up but I still couldn't access them.

It would be great if one of you guys did a step by step tutorial that we can put up at the Blog. It seems like this question has come up quite a number of times over the last few days.
