For those that use Android apps, I have some questions.

[Rick2025]

Are the android apps pushed to the users or is it just a list that they may install? Or do we decide if they are pushed or available.

Do you have any issues with drive sizes? Ours are only 32 gigs.

Are all android apps backupable by the user for when you wipe devices? Do you instruct them on how to do that? Please share if you do if that's Ok.

Do you assign chromebooks because of the amount of storage space each app will take on a users profile?

Do you have a limit on how many profiles should be on a device?

Have you ever had info wiped from an older profile because of freeing of space.

What are some apps that you make avaiable?

I would like any other thoughts you may have here on this. 

Thanks all

We only have one or two apps that we allow for students.  One of the problems we had/have with Android Apps is they are harder or in a lot of cases impossible to filter.  Because we don't have many apps, space and saving has never been an issue with us.  I do know that Android Apps and multiple profiles don't work well, because of the space restraints on 32GB.  We have used the Classroom and Kami App, there are few others but nothing widespread.

1. No, but we don't have much for selection.  We only have a handful and are all pretty small applications.
2. Not that I am aware of.  Ours are productivity apps like Adobe, Google Classroom, etc.  Not really much to back up in our case (thus far).
3. No, but again, ref #1
4. No, our devices are assigned to each student.  We really don't see much space utilization on devices.
5. No, but primarily because of #4
6. Arduino (in testing still), Adobe Creative Cloud, Lightroom, Epson iProjection, Spatial Viz, Khan Academy, Google Classroom.

Thoughts?

Your mileage may vary greatly.  Support has become much better but make sure you thoroughly test apps running on chromebooks (and ideally each model).
