[@FREE_GOAT]

Very new to Chromebooks,and I find your videos about Chromebooks VERY informative. When I am unsure of certian things,I just watch your videos. You do an amazing job explaining stuff about this. Kept you in my boookmarks for future references. Really enjoy your videos Timmy,please keep up the excellent work. Thank you :)

This was great, thank you.
You are very good at this. You appear to be at ease and the video/content flows. (If you are editing it, I can't see it.) Your presentation is very approachable, friendly, and accessible. The content is well written, straight forward, & clear and you deliver in an affirming manner. (Some people can be a tad bit condescending and frankly, it's off putting.) Well done sir. 👍👌✌

@Tech time with Timmy I buy digital downloads from etsy and my chrome book deletes the file,, because not enough storage, can I download the digitals straight to a thump drive.What kind of thumb drive should I get to accommodate those files...

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Pretty much any thumb drive would be fine for that, the only thing you would want to consider would be the storage size. Without knowing exactly all the files you're downloading, I can't say for sure how much storage you will need. But if you keep running out of space on your Chromebook, I would say you would probably want to go for something like a 16GB or 32GB thumb drive, to make sure you have enough space.
You can always buy more of them if you need even more space, but it is more convenient to have everything on the one flash drive.

How big can the flash drive can be for a Chromebook

[@techtimewithtimmy]

I'm not really sure about the maximum size. But I have used a 4TB (4000GB) external hard drive with no issues, and most flash drives wouldn't be anywhere near that large, so I wouldn't be too worried about it.

how do you download Google photos straight to USB drive?

[@techtimewithtimmy]

In this video I show you how to download files from any website to a USB drive, so you would watch this video first, and change the settings to download to the flash drive.
Then, it's basically just a matter of downloading photos from Google photos. If you only want to download a few photos, you can go to photos.google.com, select the photos you want to downlload, click the three dots in the top right hand corner, and click download, then you will be able to download them to the USB.
Or, if you want to download all of your photos, you could follow the steps shown in this video:

(after changing the settings as shown in my video)

how do I download a UA-cam video onto my flash drive?

[@techtimewithtimmy]

Unfortunately there is no proper way to download a UA-cam video to a flash drive.
If you google something like "UA-cam Downloader" you will find several websites that allow you to paste in a URL of a UA-cam video and then you'll be able to download it as an MP4 file.
But a lot of these websites can be quite sketchy, and will often try to trick you into clicking on an ad for a fairly scammy website, or download malware instead of the video.
So be very careful. I think it's also a slightly grey area legally, but for personal use that's probably not a huge issue.
