Google Chrome Extension: Can an extension read/write local files?

I'm creating an extension right now that would be better served by being able to read/write a file on the client's machine that they set initially then forget forever. I know that Google Chrome has localstorage and that offers some options but I'd love to have the ability to view/edit files on the local machine without the user having to go through an input box every time. There's reasons.

Is this possible? Anyone know?

A better google search has finally shown me this but I don't want to invest too heavily into trying this without knowing if this will do what I want. https://developer.chrome.com/apps/fileSystem
