Google Drive! What an incredible service, why didn't I think of--
oh.
I would love to, but my internet situation is... a bit tricky at the moment.

@Squidge then how did you manage to get the file in the first place 🤣
On a serious note, if it's android phone.. I'm assuming since it's a chrome book, just use adb and transfer the file that way? -
@C0D4
I would love to... But I'm 17, which means I'm still in school. The device I'm using is a school-sanctioned, locked to shit chromebook. They give it to us because they got a huge grant and had to use it.
No terminal, no shell, no ADB.
I've been trying to crack it for 3 years. I wish I could use ADB... T_T -
@Parzi
Man, when I said everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Can't even get to Recovery mode. Hell, I can't even change my OS Settings... T_T -
@Squidge time to reflash, it looks. Model?

@Squidge power it off while it's open, hold Refresh/F5 and Escape and hit Power? Then Ctrl+D?
If not, Step 2 of https://support.google.com/chromebo... may do it, but i wouldn't as you may piss off your IT dept. (also it's a felony in some places)
Ok, so I REALLY HATE ChromeOS. MY story is this: I'm using Chrome, and I want to get a file from my computer to my phone. Simple enough, I just plug my phone in, and... oh, wait! First it has to open two new windows for my phone's two storage areas. Ok, fine. I close the windows, get my file prepared, and I click/drag it over to the folder I want. Except, the computer doesn't FUCKING see it as a device anymore. It knows it's attached, but it doesn't fucking communicate with it. Ok, maybe it's a cord problem. Nope! Same issue. Maybe I need to update? Nuh-uh! That doesn't work either, since my computer's not supported anymore! And, the cherry on the top of the fucking shitcake that this whole situation is, the Files app, the one that you use to view the stuff on your hard disk? OH, IT JUST GOES AND CRASHES. I can open it! Nothing shows up. No devices work. It's just stuck like that until I reboot my machine.
God... FUCKING damnit, chromeOS.
