Because we're already talking to partners about the project, and we'll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010.

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. It's our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be. So today, we're announcing a new project that's a natural extension of Google Chrome - the Google Chrome Operating System. However, the operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web. We designed Google Chrome for people who live on the web - searching for information, checking email, catching up on the news, shopping or just staying in touch with friends. Already, over 30 million people use it regularly.

To work on any of these providers, you will need Git, Node.js, Google Chrome and Make installed.It's been an exciting nine months since we launched the Google Chrome browser. There are many more providers we would like to implement, including Please refer to each provider's own readme for installation and usage instructions. They can be found in their respective directories with this repository.

Authentication supported through access and secret key.

Work has started on the following providers Providers that mount archive files like ZIP and RAR as file systems are considered to be separate category again and are not included in this repository: they are part of core Chromium. These connect to particular accounts on various proprietary cloud storage services like Dropbox and Amazon S3. These connect to arbitrary servers over a particular protocol, like WebDAV or FTP. They offer a way to access files stored on remote servers through the Files app, from a variety of sources. This repository contains various filesystem providers for Chrome OS.
