Step 1: Firstly open up google docs by selecting the 9 boxes on the top right corner of your gmail. From the drop list select the app named “drive” (Circled below).
It should lead to your google drive (which might be unorganized)
Step 2: One very effective way to organise your drive is to create folders.To create (upload) a folder , first click on the new button at the top left corner of your screen. From the drop down box which appears select the option folder (circled in illustration below).
Step 3: By pressing folder a small window will pop up. This will allow you to name your folder based on the documents that you will decide it will store (e.g. SOST to store all your social studies related documents). Next press the create tab.
You will be able to view your newly created folder on the top of the list of your work that is under the “My drive” tab (as below)
Step 4: Now that you have created your folder it is time to add/store documents relevant to that topic. To do this, simply click and drag the document that you think is relevant for that folder and drop it on the folder that you have created (that will now be displayed in the top left hand corner of your screen under the new button.)
Step 5: Now that you know how to create folder and place the relevant documents into them it’s time to create more folders (e.g. one for each of your subjects).
You can also place folders within folders. To do this simply click and drag existing folder (or create a new) and drop it on another folder (illustrated below )
