anyone know a lot about chromebooks?

Discussion of anything other than the stuff that goes in the Joes forum. However, off-topic is not synonymous with stupidity. Try to keep this interesting to the rest of us please.

my computer is an acer14 chromebook. it has been great, if not hard to learn the ins and outs of being so different than what i was using before. it has been serving me well to upload and edit pics.

out of the blue the last time i plugged in my card reader it just gave a small prompt about viewing an attached device .instead of the notmal automatically bringing up my "drive" page and a prompt to backup to the cloud. so i could see the pics, and i could crop/rotate them. they wouldn't save though. when i hit save they showed up as text in my recent folder.

not knowing even how to frame the question it's hard to just google for a fix. i did contact a chrome specific forum for help, but they couldn't really help. you can see my question and answers here

i tried going into settings on drive and chrome, but can't find a "switch" to turn on for backing up to the cloud.

i just don't understand how it can go from working to just not? i'm hoping i don't have to buy another laptop when this one is working in every other way.
