Tip: Set up Google Drive
- When you first log into Google@CPS, you'll see the word "Documents" in the black bar atop the screen. Click it.
- A new window will open up and you'll see a big blue button that says "Get started with 5GB free". Click it. (Note that this 5GB is separate from your 25GB mailbox! Also, documents created in Google Drive do not count against your 5GB.)
- Once inside Drive, click "Download and install Google Drive". This will create a syncing folder on your computer. This is handy because you can now drop files into this folder on your desktop, and they will automatically sync to Google Drive (just like Dropbox). Generally, since these files are Word, Excel, PDF, etc., they will take up part of your 5GB (unless you opt to convert them to Google Docs).
- Now, when you go to the black bar at the top, you will see "Drive" not "Documents".
- Start creating, sharing and collaborating!
