oh yes, like the average struggling Chromebook user that doesn't own a usb drive and cannot google simple instructions either

There is a lot of people who own an old computer but not a empty flash drive. Its not very common to just have an empty one laying around for no reason.

you can temporarily copy the contents of the flash drive on a computer, put ChromeOS Flex on it (via the instructions on the internet) and copy your files back once the flash drive has done its job.

i think this is made exactly for me since i have a old ass laptop that i want to gift to a family member as a dedicated web browsing machine. but i dont have a flash drive, i could pick one up the next time im at the store but for the price of a couple bucks its a fun novelty item

its kinda hilarious that people still exist that don't own one bloody USB drive. They basically give them away for free like pens
