WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH DRIVE?
With Google Drive, you can upload and store all of your files online. You can then share these files with Admin, lecturers or with fellow students and access them from any computer, smartphone, or tablet.
UPLOAD FILES TO DRIVE ON THE WEB
One way to store files in Drive is to upload a copy of them using your web browser:
-
Go to Drive.
-
Click , select File upload or Folder upload, and then choose the file or folder you want to upload.
-
Click Open.
Or, if you’re using the latest version of Chrome or Firefox, you can simply drag files directly from your computer to the Drive page on your browser.
When you see Upload complete, your files have uploaded successfully and can be accessed in any browser or device that has Drive installed.
UPLOAD FILES FROM YOUR MOBILE DEVICE
You can also use the Drive app to store files on your Android or iOS device. (If you decide later to uninstall the app, your Drive files won’t be affected and can still be accessed from Drive on the web.)
-
Depending on your device, choose one of these options:
-
Android phone or tablet: Tap Google Play .
-
iOS devices: Tap App Store .
-
-
Find and install the Google Drive app.
-
Open the app containing the file you want to upload, tap Share, and then tap Drive.
ACCESS YOUR FILES OFFLINE
