David Ruddock, writing for Android Police:
But this “solution” has basically become an insult to Chrome’s users, forcing them to live inside a half-baked Android environment using apps that were almost exclusively designed for 6" touchscreens, and which exist in a containerized state that effectively firewalls them from much of the Chrome operating system. As a result, file handling is a nightmare, with only a very limited number of folders accessible to those applications, and the task of finding them from inside those apps a labyrinthine exercise no one should have to endure in 2019. This isn’t a tenable state of affairs—it’s computing barbarism as far as I’m concerned. And yet, I’ve seen zero evidence that the Chrome team intends to fix it. It’s just how it is.
GSuite allows users to have immediate access to all of their files, and the collaboration features are excellent. It’s not otherwise something users look forward to using. And Chromebooks are the same: they’re useful for a number of tasks, but unsatisfying for many users. Education loves them because they’re cheap and easy to manage.
