Google Drive Tips and Tricks

A few weeks back I posted on the basic features of Google Drive. Need a reminder? Check it out here. This week I want to focus on some of the more advanced features within Google Drive that you may or may not know about. Here is an article that talks about 16 top features within Google Drive.

I am going to talk about 3 of my favorite things about Google Drive.

1. One of my favorite things about Google Drive is how accessible it is, no matter where you are. Google Drive has an application that can be downloaded to your computer, an application that can be downloaded to your mobile device, and also an online site to access all of your files. Google Drive is similar to another file storage service known as Dropbox. Not sure which one you should use to access your documents more conveniently? Check out this video for a comparison between the two.

2. My next favorite thing about Google Drive are the tools that are free and online to use as a user. This includes documents, spreadsheets, forms, drawings, etc. You can create these documents directly through Google Drive and they will be saved to your Drive for easy access. The great thing about these documents --it doesn't count against your storage capacity within Google Drive! 

3. I also love how simple it is to save gmail attachments directly to Google Drive with one click! Long ago are the days that you have to right click and "save as." Now it is as simple as clicking the Google Drive logo that is on the email attachment. Check it out:

As you can see, Google Drive has a lot of great features that make it user-friendly and beneficial to use. Check out another testimony about some of the other great benefits about Google Drive:
