FitBit Studio file upload not working on Chromebook

First, I'll say I'm loving my FitBit and the SDK. It's easy to use and fun to program!

But while using FitBit studio, I can't upload files from my Chromebook. When I drag a file to drop it in the Resources folder (or anywhere else), I get the "Transferring your files" dialog box with the ever-spinning circle in the center. No errors ever show up in the javascript console.

 

When I use a PC to upload the same file, it's uploaded instantaneously.

I'm using an HP Chromebook 360 with the latest version of ChromeOS and the Chrome browser.

 

There are a lot of other posts in the forum about people having this problem on different systems, but I haven't seen anything about Chromebooks. I hope it's an easy fix.

Were you able to install the Simulator on Chromebook? I could not find any app on Playstore.

I haven't tried a simulator because I don't need one. I test on my Fitbit
device, which connects just fine. But uploading files in FitBit studio is
essential.

I've experienced this as well. I don't know exactly why the problem exists- but if I had to guess it's because even though the operating system is built on a UNIX-based kernel, something about the file storage path on chromebooks differs from MacOS and Windows.

 

tl;dr I haven't found a solution to this on Chromebooks.
