1,441 PointsTrying to download "How to make a website - stage 3 - video2.zip" - help with Chromebook?
ARRGGHH!! I attempted to download this, but got this message: "The archive format is not supported, or the file is broken."
So I poked around and found Zip Extractor which is supposed to be work on Google Drive. Downloaded that, and it appears that I have extracted the files. I can click on them and view them, etc. but I'm completely lost now. I can't drag them to my workspace like the video is telling me to do.
Any Chromebook people know how to proceed from here??
Thank you!!! Mary

1,441 PointsUpdate: I've figured out that I can extract these files with the Zip-Extractor app, and then go to the workspace and upload it from there. I'm wondering if this is the best way to go, since it's a handful of steps, or if there's an easier way that I'm just not aware of?
Thx!! :-)
