Chrome OS Feature Spotlight | Tote

By
 

Google has a way of coming out with features you didn't know you needed. Well, Google has done it again with Tote. Tote is a new feature Google released earlier this year in March when Chrome OS turned 10 years old. Google describes Tote as a new holding space that makes it easy for you to find the right file fast. You’ll have quick access to recent downloads, recent screen captures, and any files that you’ve decided to pin. Tote will pop up on your Shelf as soon as you take a screen capture, download a file or pin a file.




It's been only a few months but Tote has proven to be very useful and helpful for me. It allows me to keep things organized and quickly access files I may need for a project I am working on. You can also pin items to the Tote for those times you may need to grab often. Speaking of grabbing. You can click and drag items from the Tote to a document you’re working on or to an area to upload a file. I mean this thing is genius. 




Tote can hold all types of files such as PDFs and image formats such as PNGs and JPGs. To use Tote just use screen capture or download an image. As I mentioned before you can pin items to Tote and you do that by right-clicking on a file in the Files app and selecting Pin to Shelf.


Tote is a highly recommended feature that not only enhances your capabilities but also your productivity. I like the idea of keeping files in a central place where I can find them to get my work done faster. No need to hunt things down when you know where they are.

Waiting on Google: Why My Next Laptop Won't Be a Mac or PC (The "Googlebook" Era)

By
The release of the newly announced Googlebook cannot come fast enough for me. I am in the market for a new laptop and have my sights set on a Googlebook with the hope Google is making one. So far there are about five laptop manufacturers that are slated to be producing and releasing one this calendar year. Although, details are sparse surrounding the Googlebook I've seen just enough to know that I want this device to be a part of my tech ecosystem.  My current tech ecosystem Admittedly, I've been holding out for a minute to get a new laptop. Fortunately, my current device is still meeting my needs but barely. Right now, I am rocking a Pixelbook Go from 2019 and using a Pixel 10 Pro with a Pixel Tablet. I'm fine with this setup but my needs for more capable and powerful computing is getting harder to ignore. My Pixelbook Go does not seem as connected to my other devices as I would like which would explain why I don't use it as much. ChromeOS has not progressed much over ...

The Pixel 11 Lineup Is Here: Unboxing the Pro, Watch 5, and Essential Accessories

By
  In what has turned into an annual tradition, I have picked up the all new Pixell 11 Pro and its siblings featuring the Pixel Watch 5, and the Pixel Buds Pro 2. I also got a couple of accessories with the matching Pixel case and Pixelsnap Ring Stand. Now, I am a creature of habit so I went with the black color way or Obsidian and Hazel respectively. Google did not change much in terms of design outside of the camera bar on the P11P and that is ok with me. I'm glad that Google went with a black bar design this year as it makes the phone look even more premium and flat out gorgeous. That's it for now. I'll get everything unboxed, set up and will share more soon.
