Hi my name is Ryan Eller and today I am going to show you to how upload a document, or any
file, into Google Drive. The first thing you want to do is get into
your Google Drive. I am already logged in, so from here there are two buttons that you
want you to look for. That is the create button and right next to
it is the upload button. So if you click the upload button, then you select files. A
popup box will display your computer files, so you can scroll down...
Look for a file that you want to upload. For instance, today I am going to upload my
journal document cause I am going to use it in another class. So I am going to click journal
1, hit open. And from here you can see a popup box has
come up with my uploads. And here is an important thing to remember: normally if you
don't have conversion on right here, your document will upload as a normal Microsoft
word document. Which is cool, but... The only problem is
you won't be able to edit it in Google Documents or change it to be editable. So, what you
want to do is click settings, which is right next to conversion on, and make sure that
the check mark is on for convert uploaded files to Google Drive format.
As long as it’s doing that, it will convert the file the way you want it too and that
way you will be able to use it on Google Docs. There is also the share button, which you
can use to share the document with your friends, fellow classmates, whoever you need too.
From there you go ahead and just get that down. And click journal one so that we can
make sure our document uploaded the way we wanted it too.
And it opens and here it is, it’s just how I have it on my computer as it normally would
be in Microsoft Word. Now I can edit it just like a Microsoft Word document, but now I
can do it online and I can share it, put comments on it, anything that Google Drive allows you
to do with a normal document that you created in Google Drive you can do with an uploaded
file as long as it is converted. So there you go, I hope you find it useful in your
studies, bye now.
