General Help
- Students cannot log out of the Google Chrome web browser.
- At high schools, students and employees can login to their Chromebooks with their personal Gmail accounts.
- Note: All downloaded files go directly to the user's Google Drive (with the exception of images and videos captured with the Camera app).
- Note: Chromebooks have very little storage and as a result, files from the Downloads folder are deleted when a student logs out of the Chromebook. Students should save files to their Google Drive account.
