A real file directoryĬhrome OS has always depended heavily on web services, even when it comes to file storage. Google would do well to create some sort of basic Photoshop clone for Chrome. If you want something that can handle a few layers and maybe even some selections, you’re out of luck. It doesn’t have much beyond filters and resizing. Then there’s Polarr, which is a competent Lightroom clone that runs on your device. There’s Pixlr, which is a Flash-based online Photoshop clone that is both painfully slow and cluttered with ads. Polarr can do basic things, but it’s no Photoshop.

Chrome OS only does a few of these things, and the keyboard shortcuts are bad. You can also drag windows to the edges of your screen to split them or put a window in just a quarter of the screen. Windows makes it easy to split-screen two apps, even offering you thumbnails of recent apps to throw up on the other half when you use keyboard shortcuts.
