# Google cloud shell

Note that from a Chrome OS device, it might be just as easy to use [Google Cloud Shell](https://cloud.google.com/shell). Especially if you are concerned about network connectivity and/or bandwidth, using a shell instance within Google's server infrastructure is always going to be less resource intensive than sending data back and forth between a Google API and your local machine on your local network.
