Thanks for joining this session on learning the basics of Google Drive. We explored how cloud storage works, how to navigate Google Drive’s interface, create and organize folders, upload files, and share content with others.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Understand Cloud Storage – Cloud storage saves files on remote servers (the “cloud”) instead of just your device, letting you access them anywhere with internet, share easily, and save device space.
Navigate Google Drive – Use the left-hand menu to access Home, My Drive, Shared with Me, Recent, Starred, and Trash. The search bar and filters make finding files quick and easy.
Organize with Folders – Create folders to group related files. You can add files by dragging and dropping, creating new items directly inside the folder, or uploading from your computer.
Manage Your Storage – Google Drive gives you 15 GB free (shared with Gmail and Google Photos). Use the storage meter to check your usage and consider Google One if you need more space.
Share and Collaborate – Share files or folders with others by granting view or edit access. If you only want them to have their own copy, share with view-only permissions and have them make a copy.
