Tips to Organize Your Google Drive

“I save stuff to my Drive, but I can never find it later.” 

Here are some tips to help you with organization:

1. Create folders in your GoogleDrive by year or topic, whatever works best for you. You can create a folder with the title “2015-2016” and then create folders inside that to organize yourself (e.g. Meetings, LessonPlans). Use the                     to start.

2. Add color to your folders. Right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) on a folder, then choose CHANGE COLOR and pick a color.

3. Provide a distinctive title. Type your document’s title, but then don’t be afraid to add one word descriptors (a.k.a. tags) to the end to help you remember. If you include [date created] at the front of the document, the date you used will be automagically inserted.
