I'm using a Chromebook. I wrote a simple html file using Caret, then I saved the file onto my Google Drive. My question is how would I execute my code? I can't find the HTML file on my Google Drive for some reason. I thought I'd be able to click on the HTML file and view it in the browser as if I was working with Sublime text on a Windows machine and executing html files from the file explorer.","user":{"login":"tjzerrer","id":11532798,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjExNTMyNzk4","avatar_url":"https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/11532798?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/tjzerrer","html_url":"https://github.com/tjzerrer","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tjzerrer/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tjzerrer/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tjzerrer/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tjzerrer/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tjzerrer/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tjzerrer/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tjzerrer/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tjzerrer/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tjzerrer/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"labels":[],"state":"closed","locked":false,"assignee":null,"assignees":[],"milestone":null,"comments":2,"created_at":"2018-11-06T20:51:12Z","updated_at":"2018-11-07T03:05:10Z","closed_at":"2018-11-06T21:06:25Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"Thanks for filing an issue!

In practice, however, I've found that it sometimes behaves differently from the way that you want when building web pages, such as if you have an HTML file that tries to include CSS and JS in other files. So it may make sense for your students to develop locally, in a subfolder of the Downloads folder, then copy that into their Drive when the project is done so they can have a long-term archive.\r\n\r\nThe other thing that might be good for them would be a tool like [Glitch](https://glitch.com), which provides a free live coding environment and the ability to \"fork\" from a previous project. So, for example, you could set up a demo with the basic skeleton you want on the page, then your students could build on that and fill in their own code and content.\r\n\r\nGood luck, and if there are any other issues you see for your students, please feel free to file another issue! A lot of people are using Caret in schools, given how common Chromebooks are there, and I want to make sure it's as good as possible for them (without breaking features for more advanced developers)."}}
