'File System for Windows' is a Chrome extension specifically designed for ChromeOS. It allows users to mount and access shared directories of Windows file servers and SMB-based servers directly from the Chrome Files application. The extension supports all operations (read and write) and provides authentication through different methods. It also permits exclusive handling of Unicode and a range of SMB dialects. Signature and encryption, ASCII mode, and NetBIOS over TCP, however, are not supported.
