Happy Tuesday!
This week's tip is to learn to use Google Drive.
What is it? It is a giant repository where you can save, share and create documents, pictures, presentations, spreadsheets and more. If you are familiar with Drop Box or Evernote, you have a general idea of what Google Drive is. The reason it is valuable for you is that you have 5GB of free storage available. Do you have a document that you would like to send home, but don't have a disk on key or forgot your laptop? Well, use Google Drive. For those of you advanced users, you can share anything you can create in Google Drive with whomever you would like. Google Drive makes it easy to do that and much more.
I poured over the internet for video tutorials on how to use Google Documents and Google Drive. One of the best was made by a young adult, I would guess age 12. It really is amazing what the Digital Natives can do at this point.
For those of you who are not intimidated by a twelve year old teaching you how to use it, here is a very good video from traindude 390:
For those of you who are more print oriented, I found a nice and very basic tutorial on how to use Google Drive HERE
Here is a basic video from CNet that explains Google Drive in a succinct manner: HERE
Please let me know if you find these tips useful. I would love to know how many of you are successfully using Google Drive.
Sincerely,
Todd
