How much storage does a kiosk app use

Problem

You want to deploy a Kiosk app on managed ChromeOS devices, but want to know about how much storage will be used.

Environment

  • ChromeOS

Solution

  1. Go to the Chrome Web Store page.
  2. Click on the app.
  3. App size information will be displayed under Additional information.
  4. Install the app.
  5. Log in to the Admin console.
  6. Navigate to Devices > Chrome > Devices.
  7. Click on the device serial number.
  8. Select System activity and troubleshooting > Disk space usage to find out the total space the app uses.

Cause

ChromeOS devices do not have simple way to check the exact storage used by an kiosk app, only a general overview when signed in.
