Drive Sync

Google Drive integration with Classroom simplifies file management. Google’s guide on Drive in Classroom (https://support.google.com/edu/classroom/answer/6106181) explains the basics, but let’s dive into tools to make it work better.

When creating an assignment, click “Add” > “Google Drive” to attach files like PDFs or Docs. To keep things organized, create folders in Drive (drive.google.com) for each class—e.g., “Math 202 Resources.” Share these folders with students by posting a link in Classwork, setting permissions to “View Only” to prevent edits.

For collaborative work, use Google Docs. Create a Doc (docs.google.com), set sharing to “Anyone with the link can edit,” and attach it to an assignment with the “Make a copy for each student” option. This gives every student their own editable version, perfect for group projects. If sync issues arise, check Google’s troubleshooting guide (https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2494822).

To track submissions, use Google Sheets. Create a spreadsheet (sheets.google.com) with columns for student names and file links—students can paste their Drive links in a shared Doc, which you copy into Sheets for easy access. Drive, Docs, and Sheets make file management in Classroom efficient and collaborative.
