Uploading Your Files to Google Drive

Google Drive makes it very easy to upload files, even if they are not in Google Drive format. You can upload almost any type of file to Google Drive easily. When uploading, you also have options on how you would like to upload. You can choose to upload individual files or folders.

On a Chromebook*: 
(*Only will be needed if you have downloaded files or are uploading from a Flash Drive).

To upload files or folders on a Chromebook, you simply open your Google Drive and select “New.” The “New” menu will drop down and provide you with a number of options. Select either file or folder, depending on what you wish to upload. If you select “File Upload,” use the Control (ctrl) button to select multiple types of files. If you select the folder, follow the same procedure to select multiple files. When you are set, click on Upload to begin the process.

On a Windows PC:
The process is similar to the Chromebook but will appear slightly different. You will still click on the “New” button in Google Drive.

Next, you will select the file(s) or folder(s) that you wish to upload.

You will select the file(s) that you wish to upload. You will then select the “Open” button.

To upload a folder on a PC, you will select the folder(s) that you wish and then push “Ok.”
