Step 4: Select “Downloads” from the left-hand side menu, then locate and open up the folder labeled “Screenshots” which should contain all screenshots taken with this device.

How to Capture and Share Window Screenshots on an Acer Chromebook

Taking screenshots on an Acer Chromebook is a simple and straightforward process. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions on how to capture and share window screenshots on an Acer Chromebook.

First, open the window you would like to take a screenshot of. To capture the entire window, press the “Ctrl” and “Window Switcher” keys at the same time. The Window Switcher key is located in between the “Alt” and “Backspace/Delete” keys. Your screenshot will be saved automatically in your Downloads folder as a PNG file with a timestamp as its name.

If you would like to take a partial screenshot of your window, press “Ctrl + Shift + Window Switcher” instead of just pressing “Ctrl + Window Switcher”. After doing so, your cursor will turn into a crosshair that you can use to select which part of your screen you want to capture by dragging it across the desired area with your mouse or trackpad. Once you have selected what part of your screen you want to capture, release all three keys at once and it will be saved in your Downloads folder as before with its own timestamp as its name.

To share either type of screenshot taken from an Acer Chromebook, simply open up Google Drive or any other cloud storage service that supports image files such as Dropbox or OneDrive and upload it there for easy sharing with others online via link or email attachment depending on which service you are using for storage purposes.

By following these steps carefully, capturing and sharing screenshots from an Acer Chromebook should now be easy for anyone who needs this information!
