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.
