Hi everyone,

I'm a teacher who's created a course on a google site.  Due to internet problems in some of our schools, I would like to convert this to a packaged app for offline use.  Do you know of any help resources you could point me towards to achieve this?  Everything I've read so far doesn't really use converting a website as an example.

Thanks.

So, using Google Sites Liberation, I've downloaded my site (only 200MB).  The problem now is that my site is all in folders with the different elements all containing an index file.   Which file would I be pointing to in my manifest.json?  And it would be a browser action right?

Thanks for your help.

Note that the ZIP file size limit is 10 MB when you host it in the web store (just in case).

Stupid question, but must I put my app in the chrome store?  I'm really just making it to distribute to our students at our school.

No, you can leverage the external extension mechanism, if you are an administrator.

And the limit is actually 2GB now. We need to update the docs.

Hi Joe,
we were wondering if the limit is realy 2GB by now,
because our upload of about initial 560 MB constantly failed,
until we shrinked it to some bytes below 50 MB.
Do you have any Ideas concerning this?

Thanks in advance for your help!
Stefan
