Class 12: Google Drive folders

In order to create a New Folder you simply click the red "NEW" button on the top left of your Google Drive main page. After clicking "NEW," a window will pop up and you click "Create new folder." Once you click new folder, a window appears that allows you to give your new folder a name. 

This image shows my new folder titled "IMMERSION 2015 Outreach."

In order to add files to your new folder you simply click the little arrow to the left of "My Drive" (shown below) and it will make visible, your folder, right below it. You simply click and drag the document you want to put in the new folder over into the new folder. The document I chose to add to my new folder is shown in blue below.

This image shows the "NEW" button in the top left of the screen.

The image below this shows the window that pops up when you have successfully added a document to your new folder.

The last image on this blog post (shown below) shows the contents of my new "IMMERSION 2014 Outreach" folder in my Google Drive.

If you want to share a folder with the public or just specific individuals you can click the symbol that has a human with a plus sign(shown in image below). This symbol can be found in the top right area of your Google Drive windown.

After clicking the symbol above, this window titled "Link Sharing" (shown in image below) will appear. You can make your folder viewable to the public or to specific people. I chose to share a link with anyone at BC. This means that the people in my Google Group who have Boston College Gmail accounts can access the folder if they have the link I shared.

Class 12: What is Google Drive?

        Google Drive is a file storing service that was created by Google. Google Drive can be used to share files, documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with others. When you share a file on Google Drive you have the option to allow it to be viewed, edited, or commented on publicly or privately with specific individuals.

        Google Drive is very versatile. It can be used to share a number of different items. Another great thing about Google Drive is that their is an app that is available on both Android and Apple devices. Google Drive has become extremely popular since it was created on April 24th, 2012. By October, 2014 Google Drive had 240 million users.

        Google Drive provides all users with 15gb of free storage space. Google Drive also has monthly subscription plans that are very affordable and allow a user to have a greater amount of storage space. You can upgrade to 100gb of storage for just $1.99 per month, 1 Terabyte of storage for $9.99 per month, and up to 30 Terabytes of storage for $299.00 per month. Google provides all Google App users with up to 30gb of free storage space.

        Google Drive has sections that allow you to see various things. There is a "My Drive" section that stores all of the files you have created, making them easier for you to access. There is a "Shared with me" that stores all of the files that have been shared with you by others. There is a "recent" section that stores all the files you have recently accessed. There is also a "Starred" section that holds all the files which you marked as important and want to be able to access very easily.


        Google Drive is a great service that I use often in classes. I really enjoy writing papers or creating presentations and being able to share it with someone else for editing without attaching it to an email or forcing them to download it. Google Drive makes it possible for more then one person to access a file at the same time and edit the content of that file (if given permission by the creator). I have used Google Drive for documents, spreadsheets, and presentations and it is, by far, my favorite file storing service that I have used.
