File System for Dropbox - Mount Dropbox on Chrome OS
File System for Dropbox is a Chrome OS extension that allows users to mount their Dropbox account directly onto their Chrome operating system. This unique feature not only grants user access to their Dropbox files and folders natively on their Chromebooks but also supports multiple accounts. It additionally sports features comparable to Dropbox's Project Infinite. A regularly updated application, it continuously improves in performance and stability. However, this software is unofficial and primarily works on ChromeOS.
