Or, how to add Gallery App to list of "open with"?
Only way I've found to use Gallery App is to launch and use it to open a pdf.

At the bottom right of your screen, click the time/clock.
At the top of the menu go to settings. 
In this window at the bottom left go to "About Chrome OS"
Now select "Additional details"
To the right of build details, you'll see a symbol that looks like two pieces of paper. Use that to copy build details to clipboard.
Paste the details in a reply here.

From the Files app, I click on a local pdf file and this is what I see. I would be happy if the Gallery App was listed under "Use a different app".

Do you ask whether the Files App on my Chromebook is an Android App?

Now, if I can just pin the Chrome Files icon to the bottom to replace the Android Files icon.

​Perfect!Thank you!I've uninstalled the Android app and pinned the Gallery App icon in its place.My "seat of the pants" process failed me here. "Read Everything Before Doing Anything" would have avoided this problem -- but there is just too much for this old man to read.
Thanks again for your brilliant assistance.Sep 22, 2022
