“I have to assume answer is yes but have to ask as this is important to me. Can this Chromebook connect to my NAS drive over my home network and can I move files between the CB and my NAS? Thanks.”

The quick answer - I haven't been able to do it as I don't really have a true NAS drive. That said, I looked it up and if you Google the Chrome Web Store for "Network File Share for Chrome OS" it claims it can be done. I walked through it and it seems reasonable. If it is any help, I have connected DropBox and OneDrive without issue and files are accessible from apps. I run the MS/Office 365 web versions without issue. OneNote, my primary reason for getting the Chromebook, also works well. The Chromebook is small enough to take to meetings, check emails, and the usual routine web-based stuff you can do with a Chrome browser. I am relatively new to this but I like it so far. I'm in the IT field and, again, use this mostly for notes, meetings, etc. I don't do any development work on it - not sure I could. I did add the 128GB micro-SD card to provide more storage although really most everything is on my DropBox account. Good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
