How do I get to my clipboard on a Chromebook? (Original Post) wryter2000 Feb 2021 OP

That doesn't quite accurately describe what I'm seeing in my settings. I think the thing I want to save has a url. Maybe if I e-mail that to myself I can pick it up on my other computer that will allow me to do what I want.

It's a confirmation for my covid shot, and I really want to print that for my appointment in case there's any kind of mix-up.

If I had access to a Chromebook, I might be more helpful. Good luck!

ETA: does the url start with file? Something like this:

file:///home/chronos/user/Downloads/

If so, that points to the folder on your Chromebook where the file is located. If it starts with http then your screen captures must be saved to a cloud account (probably GoogleDrive) automatically.
