Looking inside `/etc/crouton/shares`, I see the downloads folder is already shared by default:\r\n\r\n```\r\ndownloads ~/Downloads\r\n```\r\nHowever, when I visit my Files app in Chrome OS, I see this notice which refers to the files inside the Downloads folder:\r\n\r\n> Caution: These files are temporary and may be automatically deleted to free up disk space.\r\n\r\nI've also heard horror stories of Chrome OS power-washing directories after system failure which causes their data to be wiped.\r\n\r\nI'd like to share a host folder which has content that isn't at risk of being deleted. With this in mind, which folder on the host (Chrome OS) would you recommend I share with my chroot?\r\n\r\nIdeally, I'd like to share a Google Drive folder, but I don't believe this is possible.\r\n\r\nThanks in advance.\r\n\r\nRef: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Sharing-files-and-folders"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dnschneid/crouton/issues/comments/170398153","html_url":"https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/2357#issuecomment-170398153","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dnschneid/crouton/issues/2357","id":170398153,"user":{"login":"henrywright","id":1963288,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1963288?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/henrywright","html_url":"https://github.com/henrywright","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/henrywright/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/henrywright/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/henrywright/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/henrywright/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/henrywright/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/henrywright/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/henrywright/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/henrywright/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/henrywright/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-10T22:01:56Z","updated_at":"2016-01-10T22:01:56Z","body":"Interesting to hear you're using a larger SSD. I'm currently making use of a 1TB Google disk space allowance but need to consider my options in ~1 year when that promotion ends.\r\n\r\n> I haven't experimented with it but you can change your 'Downloads location:' under Settings to use a Google Drive folder so this, in theory, could work. You may want to give that a try.\r\n\r\nThat sounds like a possibility, although I'm not sure how it'd work with reference to setting the host directory?\r\n\r\n`HOSTDIR CHROOTDIR`\r\n\r\n"}}
