How to Upload Documents to Google Drive

With Google Drive, you can create and store documents online rather than on your hard drive, which makes all files on Google Drive portable and accessible from any computer. Documents can be created via Google Drive or uploaded from your computer. To learn how to upload documents to Google Drive, just follow these few simple steps.

1. Browser- Open your web browser of choice and type in google.com or gmail.com.

3. Drive- After you have logged in, you will see a few icons to the right, including your name, a grid of 9 squares, a bell, a + sign inside a box, and your profile picture. Click on the grid of 9 squares. This shows Apps options.
