Chrome's Filesystem and Sync Filesystem APIs extend the HTML5 FileSystem API. With Chrome's Filesystem API, apps can create, read, navigate, and write to a sandboxed section of the user's local file system. For example, a photo-sharing app can use the Filesystem API to read and write any photos that a user selects. Storage API
