Save and store your files onto Google Drive - Cloud Backup system

This exercise is kind of easy but important.

Students will save as many files and documents onto the cloud using Google Drive.  What are the advantages of using Google Drive over your C drive on a PC?  Can you name a few?

Structure and organization is key.

Here is an example of how you would nest subfolders into a main folder onto your G-Drive:

          HydeComputerTechEd/
                                         Documents/ 
                                                                      Jobs/
                                                                  MyResume.doc
                                                                  CoverLetter1.doc 
                                                                  Coverletter2.doc

                                          Images/ 
                                                      Jordans1.jpg
                                                      FavNBAPlayer.gif
                                                      NikeRedKickz.jpg

                                          Presentations/
                                                              SocialMediaProject.PPT
                                                              FavNBAStars.PPT


                                          Spreadsheets/
                                                              PennyFlag.xls
                                                              4Formulas.xls

In this example, the Jobs subfolder is nested inside the Documents subfolder which is nested inside the main HydeComputerTechEd folder. 

With Google Drive, you can color code all your folders, search for files using Google keyword search, list all folders, and Share folders with a select audience granting them permission to view or edit via email addresses or via a hyperlink onto a blog or web site.
