Organising your G Drive files

After watching open your own Google Drive https://drive.google.com/ and use the tips to:

1. Create an “Archive” folder and then move old files and folders you are finished with into this folder.
2. Create folders to organise documents for each of your current classes.
3. Use the “Starred” feature to choose favourites or documents you are currently working on
4. Choose some colours for your folders
5. Name your documents so you can find them easily later

Use the camera on your device to scan paper documents

You can also use your personal device's camera to scan documents you receive in paper format or take photos of other work you complete. Once they are scanned they can be uploaded and organised in your Google Drive.
