Can I watch a downloaded Netflix movie on an airplane?

How do I download movies to my Chromebook offline?

The first thing you should do is set the downloader to download from the same location as the cloud drive where you're currently saving your files.

I'll explain in more detail in a minute, but for now just click the download button to begin downloading a file.

Chrome OS doesn't seem to have any built in functionality to automatically delete downloaded movies, so once they are downloaded you'll need to manually remove them from your cloud drive and then delete them from Chrome OS. In the above image I've downloaded the TV series 'Stranger Things' from the Netflix app. I've clicked the download button, selected my cloud drive and then hit the OK button to download the file. I've now moved on to other things, but when I return to this article in the future I'll be able to download the file again without any problems.

How do I download movies from other sites? If you want to download files from other sites you'll need to install a browser extension to enable this functionality. You can use Chrome's built-in Downloads extension, or you can use a third-party one like Downloadify.

Install the Downloadify extension. Once you've installed Downloadify, you'll need to install it from the Chrome Web Store. You can do this by searching for the Downloadify extension.

Click Install. Once installed, you'll be prompted to enable the extension. Click Allow.

You'll now be able to install the extension from the browser address bar. Click the small arrow at the top right-hand corner of the extension icon to reveal the installation options. Select Install. After installing, you'll now see a small Download icon in the address bar at the top of your browser. Clicking this icon will open a window where you can select the movie or TV show you'd like to download. You'll then be prompted to select the download location where you'd like to save the file. I'll explain in more detail in a minute, but for now just click the green download button.

Click the small arrow at the top right-hand corner of the download icon to reveal the installation options.
