When I get home, after unplugging myself from the headset, I am greeted by my loved ones. After some quality time, I decide to lie in bed. I reach for my tablet, stored in the drawer of the bedside table. Once again, Google Drive fulfills its promise, and effortlessly I open the document, proof reading it to correct and polish it. When I want, I can leave it so tomorrow I begin the process again. Simple and convenient are the qualities that come to my mind when I think of Google Drive.

Have any other questions on how to use Google Drive? Thanks for reading. A numbered checklist would be much more to my liking. It assumes a fair amount of knowledge of terms. A glossary would assist. No one asked you to criticise. You are meant to get the information you need and be appreciative, not leave ungrateful comments like this. Agreed Boss. We should be thankful for folks willing to stop and document what the know thank you and leave the whiny food critic like assessment of ones personal preferences…… well……..

Thank you! Nice explanation of the difference between syncing and backing up. This helped me a lot. When someone views a link to my Google drive file, does the file download onto their device? I always thought one of the beauties of Google drive is that when someone sends a link to a file it is viewed from within G D….

The file only downloads when you expressly move it over or move over a copy. Thankyou very much for your comprehensive guide which, even I, understand and will be able to return to when needed. I am just going to let it run and hope for the best. Since the new version of Google Drive has been released, I am finding many of my files and folders arer e-duplicated.

One of these folders will be empty. Why is this? Google Drive on my PC has eaten up all my drive space.

How can I delete files from computer without losing them on the cloud. Is there a way to check that all the files in the local google drive folder are in the cl. If you go into the settings in Google drive on your computer, I believe you could select which file folders are synchronized to your computer from Google drive. Hopefully that will limit it to just the ones you want on your home computer, and not fill it up. This is fantastic. Thank you for doing this. It feels a little repetitive.

But anyway thank you again. Thank you very much for taking time to do this tho,very helpful! Hi Eamonn Colley, For me, the loss of file structure is almost a deal breaker, since i initially established the structure on my PC for convenience in finding specific files and folders. I wonder why the loss occurs. I read somewhere that it checks for duplicate files during upload. So the files especially images appear only once when uploaded. Is this correct? I have some many damn duplicates on my PC and external storage drive I am really hoping its true!!

This is the best article. It did explain to me the differences between syncronizing, backing up and cloud storing, and how to implement them using Google Drive. It took me many hours to find this article. Thanks so much! If i really want to go beyond the 15gb free from google, and go for say GB monthly pay.. Someone has shared files photos with me and I have permission to download.

Once I download to my laptop does that mean I have the files permanently?

If they delete the original link are my files gone? I am advertising a job and want to make an application form and info sheets available to download. Is google drive a good way to do this, or is Dropbox better, or some other service? I am trying to open documents originally created in Excel and when I get them opened some of the data is missing.

Can you tell me why? Probably not all the data migrated from Excel to Google Sheets.

Someone shared their files with me, if I download their files onto my laptop and edit them will it edit their original ones on their google drive? You just saved me so much time and a HUGE headache! This article is helping me a lot in understanding how to use Google Drive. I still have questions to which I have so far not found any good answer anywhere.

Perhaps you could provide perspective? However I noticed that GD was not updating dedicated folders with new content added. This option will remove the selected folder from your Drive, and move it to your Android. Select a destination folder for your download. Find the folder where you want to download the copied content from your Drive, and tap the folder name on the list. Tap the OK button. This will download the selected folder and all of its contents to your Android.
