Cannot access file system on Chromebook

[Cory Porter]

When using the URL to access files on Chromebook (file:///home/chronos/user/Downloads/keepass.kdbx), I get the following error message saying it cannot be loaded:

Cannot load URL file:///home/chronos/user/Downloads/keepass.kdbx

I've just obtained a Chromebook at work. I'll make sure to look into this the soonest.

@copo24 The issue, I believe, is with cross origin policy. I could request for extra permission when you install BrowsePass but I'd rather keep BrowsePass as permission-less as possible.

For your use case, I'd think most people would use the Files app to drag and drop than to type in this lengthy URL. Therefore I'm gonna mark this as won't fix.

there is no typing anymore, because of adress_of_browsepass#adress_of_kdbx as bookmark. will you fix it? :)

@kreisel If you explain what you mean by "no typing" and what that's got to do with the Chromebook issue, maybe. ;)

"For your use case, I'd think most people would use the Files app to drag and drop than to type in this lengthy URL." but with your, @n-st, enhancement there no need for typing anymore :)

Oh, that. Well, then it's up to @namn if he want's to implement that.
