I covered how to do this in a previous post Lets start with the ChromeOS device and it needs the Linux Shell up and running. So how does this fit together? ChromeOS install I tend to use the Mac as a personal server now i’ve moved to using the Chromebook more While i’m using a Mac as the conduit sync thing runs on other OS’s and is in fact far more fully featured than the use case i’m going to cover here. and is based onĪt a high level the solution looks like this The solution to this is workable, automated, simple to setup and can be portable to a point too. While you can connect multiple Google accounts to the Chromebook, only the primary account (ChromeOS 87) is seen as a mounted Drive instance on the Files app so its not possible to see and therefore backup files to a second google account. I want to use the services and applications linked to my Google account and have the ability to ensure all the files I create on the Chomebook are backed up to Google Workspace. On the Chromebook while I can swap in the browser between Google Drive and Google Workspace Drive, the Files app doesn’t yet allow me access to both Google Drives. I also however have a Google Workspace Account, this too has its own Google Drive capability I have a Google account which is linked directly to my Chromebook, this means i can in the Files app see my google Files and backup these files to my Google Drive account. I’ve recently run into a scenario using ChromeOS which is kind of annoying, however i’ve found a workaround which works for me. Blog, chromeos, homelab, howto, selfhosted, tech
