Consolidate Your Files
in Google Drive

With Drive, you can safely store your documents, presentations, spreadsheets, pictures, videos, and more. Just like folders saved on your computer’s desktop or in a filing cabinet, you can create, organize, and save information as files and folders using Drive.  

Since they’re all saved in the cloud, you can access your files from any device that's connected to the internet, as long as you can sign into your Google account. This makes accessing your files and folders easy to do from almost anywhere.

Organize your items in Google Drive

In Google Drive, you can upload, view, share, and edit documents, slideshows, spreadsheets, photos, and videos. Once you’ve uploaded something to Drive, it’s saved to the cloud. Unlike saving files locally on a computer’s hard drive, files saved in the cloud are accessible from any device as long as you are connected to the internet and logged into your Google account.

So if you’re working on an assignment on your classroom computer, you can also work on it later in the computer lab, or on your laptop at home. You can drag and drop content into Drive from your laptop or desktop. You can also upload content into Drive from your mobile device.

Once you create or upload files in Google Drive, you can create folders to store your content. Creating folders makes it easier to organize and share similar materials so you can find what you need. 

Once you’ve created a folder, you can drag and drop files that belong together to the same location, then rename the folder to describe its contents. After renaming your folders, you can change their color to make documents even easier to find. 

For example, maybe you want a separate folder for each class period. Color-coding these folders can make it easier when searching for a math worksheet or a science group project.
