How To Drag And Drop On A Chromebook

[@hamlltonhope8123]

The ability to left click was a total mystery, thought it was because my cheap HP Chromebook didn't support that function, thanks Tim, now I can lasso things. Moo

Are you able to drag a Nintendo file and put it to the desktop? I’m trying to transfer memory from one sd card to a bigger sd card. Every time I try to drag it to the desktop it just has a cancel sign and goes back to where the file is. I have a Chromebook 300e. I’m not sure if that matters

[@techtimewithtimmy]

You can't put files on the desktop on a Chromebook. You'll need to drag it to the "my files" folder in the files app instead.

@@techtimewithtimmy thank you for that info. After that when you insert the new sd card then you just go to my files and then drag and drop it onto the new one?

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Yes

[@AlwaysWasIsAndShallBe]

@@techtimewithtimmy thank you for the confirmation. I just didn’t want to mess up!

[@techtimewithtimmy]

No worries

Hello Timmy. Help. Your tutorials are very good. Please can you tell me how to convert a pdf file to word in chrome. Wish I'd never bought a chromebook !

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Google Docs is usually a much better option than Word on a Chromebook. Because there isn't really a proper version of Word for Chromebooks. Here's a video about how to open a PDF in Google Docs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGWxqIyZbbqXf9U You can then download it from Google Docs as a Word Doc if you want to send it to someone as a Word Doc: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZXUZ3SPabdpbLs

[@louisebell8005]

Thankyou very much. I'd be lost without your tutorials !

This is not working. Is there a short code?

I also like to avoid clicking by tapping on the touchpad whenever possible. In Settings, you can enable "tap dragging" which is a quiet elegant gesture. After enabled, quickly double tap then drag the item - great for moving files into folders or moving windows around. This is the same idea as preferring two finger tap to right click as opposed to right clicking.
