Does the file browser in Chrome OS send data across the network?

Chrome OS does allow syncing with Google Drive, which obviously does send data through the network, but what about the local file system?

2IIRC ChromeOS only uses local storage for caching; thus the question is a tautology. "Does an operating system that is designed to use the network as primary storage send file data across the internet?" Yes, it does. – None – 2014-03-04T19:38:24.980

Yes

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
