Just got my daughter a chromebook ... since she just wants to "do suff" not keep reconfiguring/reinstalling the OS/apps etc.
What is the best way to use with with the QNAP? esp. for file sharing

Re: How to use with a ChromeBook
Living in a browser (OS) is not as flexible as on a universal computing client. Unless I'm wrong, there is no share access, no QNAP Qfile/Qsync for Chrome OS yet, ... so the user is stuck on the Web based Stations, and probably Dogulus Kaien's HappyGet 1.5 (and HappyGet 2 for QTSv4 
)

A follow-up ... it should not take long for Android Apps to become available on Chrome OS / Chromebook.
This is a standard Qfile HD APK as downloaded a few hours ago from qnap.com and added using the App Runtime for Chrome (Beta) and an App named ARC Welder.
Needless to say - some limitations apply, i.e. keyboard mapping is not solved yet, or the discovery on the (W)LAN is not operational, other basics like file and folder access on the NAS - currently on the WLAN, most likely also over the Internet (with port forwarding), and probably even by using the CloudLink.
