If anyone can get Chrome OS to do something like that, it would be great!
I just connected my older iPhone SE (2nd generation, I believe) into
my Chrome OS Flex. I can read the DCIM-directory, but not write.
Hi Michael Logies,
This is VERY important because one in ten million people, if that,
know what I'm about to tell you below about read _and_ write to iOS.
When I dual boot a Windows desktop to Ubuntu, I have complete simultaneous
full read and write (both ways!) permission to all three operating systems:
1. Windows (even though it's not even running)
2. Ubuntu (which is what I'm booted to)
3. IOS (even the root partition, including all app storage space!)
Read _and_ write.
But you need to know the single simple (trivial in fact) trick.
Which one in ten million people happen to know.
Even though I've posted this trick many times to Usenet tutorials.
This is important because it shows how people on Usenet, when working
together, can solve problems that no MARKETING org wants us to solve.
To copy files both ways (read _and_ write):
1. Apple MARKETING wants you to use the iTunes abomination on Windows
2. Apple MARKETING doesn't want you to connect to Linux in any manner
Luckily, native Ubuntu iFuse works _perfectly_ between Linux & iOS. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, iFuse does not exist for Windows.

Back to your read _and_ write tests of "Chrome OS Flex", it may matter if
iFuse is native (or ported) to that operating system. I don't know.

I don't know anything about "Chrome OS Flex" but I know Ubuntu when it
comes to plugging an iPhone/iPad over USB into it for read _and_ write.

The best marketing organization on the planet doesn't want you to know that Linux iFuse (I only tested Ubuntu though) automatically turns the entire
iOS device (much more than just DCIM) into a read _and_ write USB stick.
However, what I keep forgetting to mention is there is a secret trick, (I tested on Ubuntu) for obtaining that _write_ permission from Linux to iOS.

Notice something very interesting, which is everyone claims to know how
to do this, but if you don't know the secret trick (see above), you can't.
But once you know the secret trick, then it's perfect!
*Windows & Linux & iOS all simultaneous file systems*
Notice that's with _two_ (not three!) operating systems booted?
(Where Windows & Linux are a dual boot setup.)
This is not with a VM.
It's too perfect.
Simultaneous access to the full Windows, Linux & iOS file systems.
Read _and_ write.
Note: One in a million (maybe one in ten million) people know how to do this. But I haven't tested it on Chrome OS (just Ubuntu & Windows 10 & iOS).

Posted out of the goodness of my heart to disseminate useful information
which, in this case, is to show a read/write trick for iOS that probably
one in ten million people are aware of (maybe even fewer given it's iOS).
