Overview
Link to Drive from Chrome homepage or from your Gmail
You can sync from Internet to MORE than one desktop
We are working on an image with the new computers that will have “Google Drive for Desktop” on them. You can put it on your computer at home and whatever you do at school and save to Drive, will be on your other computers too. Just turn them on, connect to the Internet, and Drive on your computer will sync.
If you save to Google Drive on your machine, it automatically syncs with Google Drive online...and vice versa.
Download Drive for Mac or PC
>Choose the link on the left side of the page (“Connect Drive to Your Desktop”)
>Click “Download Drive for PC or Mac”
>Open the downloaded file and install it to your machine
UPLOADING FILES TO DRIVE FROM YOUR COMPUTER
>Click the Gear icon in the top right
>Choose “Settings”
>Choose “Upload Settings”
>Choose “Confirm settings before each upload”
>Click the red upload button
>Decide if you want to upload individual files or a folder (Folder option ONLY works with Chrome as your browser)
>Choose what you want to upload from your computer
>When “Upload Settings” window appears, choose the option you want
>Click the “Start Upload” button
You will see the status of the upload. Then you will see it appear in Drive. Open Drive on your desktop and you will see the file there too! If you delete a file from your Google Drive on your computer, you will see that it disappears from Drive online too!
MOVE FILES TO FOLDERS
>Click the box of by the file
>Click the folder icon at the top
>Choose the folder you want to move the file to
SHARING FILES IN GOOGLE DRIVE
>Check the box by the file or folder you want to share
>3 options for sharing
>Click the +person icon at the top
OR
>Right click on the file and click share
OR
>Share from the upload file window when upload completes
>After you choose how to share, the “Share Settings” window will open and you can decide here what rights your collaborators will have.
>Choose to send a message when you share
>Choose to send yourself a copy
>Click “Share and Save”
If someone shares a file or folder with you, it will be in the “shared with me” link in Drive. These “shared with me” files are not automatically synced with your Drive on multiple computers. If they delete a file from their drive, then you will no longer have access to it either.
To keep files that have been “shared with you” it even if the other person deletes it:
>Go to Drive
>Click on the “Shared with Me” button
>Put a check in the box next to the file or folder you want to keep
>Choose “Add to my Drive” OR “Folder” icon at the top, depending on where you want it.
Now even if the person who shared it with you deletes it, you will still have it. Items that have been shared with you that you add to your "Drive", will be available in both your Drive and it will remain in the Shared folder also. Now the owner of the folder still has access to it also.
If you only want certain files from a shared folder
>Click the file you want to add to your drive
>While dragging it to "My Drive", hold down the Control key (Option key on a Mac)
This is the way to keep the file in both your Drive and Shared folder.
COLLABORATION
