This article details how to export bookmarks to the U: drive
1.) From chrome, hit the 3 dots in the top right. From there, hover over "Bookmarks" and then select "Bookmark manager". Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+O.
2.) Click the three blue dots in blue land (not the same 3 dots from step 1.) and then select "Export bookmarks"
3.) Choose your U: drive as the storage location. This way, even if you lose everything locally then your bookmarks will be saved on the network.
