Google Drive is a free, cloud-based storage service that acts as your central online warehouse for all your digital files, including documents, photos, and videos, allowing you to access them securely from any phone, tablet, or computer with an internet connection. It is the backbone for all of Google's productivity apps; automatically saving your work and enabling you to easily share files and collaborate with others in real-time. By storing files on Google's remote servers, Drive acts as a reliable backup, ensuring your important data is safe even if your device is lost or damaged.

Please note: If more than one person in your household uses a Google Workspace/Google account on the same device, make sure each person signs out of their account when done. This will avoid the accidental creation of an assignment on dad's account or older sister's account.
