I've installed Linux on my Toshiba Chromebook 2. So far it's awesome and so much more useful than Chrome OS, but it has a tiny SSD size of 16gb. It has an SD card reader and I have a 32gb SD card I'm not using, is there any way I could use it as a hard drive expansion? Or maybe just move my default downloads or applications folder or something on it? I'm new to Ubuntu so maybe this is a dumb question. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

2Possible duplicate of How to use manual partitioning during installation? – That would be the easiest way if you're willing to re-install Ubuntu. If you don't want that, please state so in you question and ping me for an alternate suggestion. – David Foerster Feb 25 '16 at 18:07

This question is not a duplicate of How to use manual partitioning during installation?. Ubuntu is installed in a completely different manner on Chromebooks, this question refers to after install operations. – Luís de Sousa Feb 29 '16 at 10:59

You can mount your SD card or one partition of it at /usr
, better do this during Ubuntu installation though. If you have already installed your Ubuntu, try this: How to move /usr to a new partition?
You can also do the same to /home
, if you tend to have a lot of user files including downloaded stuffs.
