What kind of storage does my Chromebook have?

Like with any laptop, Chromebook storage varies, and options ranging from a PCIe 4.0 SSD to eMMC storage are all common in modern Chromebooks.

If you want to get to know a Chromebook’s storage a little more personally, we recommend heading to the About System page. Again, to get to About System, just type “chrome://system/” into Chrome’s address bar, and press Enter.

Once the page loads, scroll down to “storage_info” and click “Expand…”

Here, you’ll find other storage details, like the storage model name and max capacity.

How much storage does my Chromebook have?

While some Chromebook users may primarily rely on Google Cloud for their files, there are also good reasons to keep documents, photos, and other data on the device, and you may also want storage information before downloading that next app.

Storage is one of the easier bits of information to find on a Chromebook, but in case you’re having trouble, here’s the easiest way to find out how much storage a Chromebook in question has.

Hit the Chromebook’s search button to bring up the ChromeOS search bar and then type “storage.” An option called “Storage Management” will come up. Click on that.

Alternatively, you can go to Settings -> Device -> Storage Management.

Once you’re in the Storage Management section of ChromeOS’ Settings, you’ll see how much storage the Chromebook is using and how much remains. This page also breaks down storage usage by type.
