share files and folders with others using Google Drive

Why Google Drive

Google Drive is a cloud storage service that allows you to store, access, and share your files from any device with an internet connection. It is a convenient way to collaborate with others and share documents, photos, and other types of files. Here's how to set up Google Drive and share files or folders with others:

Go to drive.google.com and sign in to your Google account. If you don't have a Google account, you can create one for free. You may also access Google Drive by clicking the 9 dots in the top right hand corner of the Google screen page.

Once you are signed in, you will see a dashboard with all of your files and folders. You can upload new files by clicking the "New" button in the top left corner of the window and selecting "File upload" or "Folder upload."

To share a file or folder with others, right-click on the file or folder and select the "Share" option. Alternatively, you can click the "Share" button in the top right corner of the window when the file or folder is selected.

In the "Share with others" window, you can enter the email addresses of the people you want to share the file or folder with. You can also add a message to send along with the invitation if you wish.

Under the "Permission" section, you can choose whether the people you are sharing with can view, edit, or comment on the file or folder. You can also choose whether they can invite others to access the file or folder.

When you are done, click the "Send" button to send the invitation. The people you invited will receive an email with a link to access the file or folder.

That's it! You should now be able to share files and folders with others using Google Drive. You can also use Google Drive to collaborate on documents in real-time, with multiple people able to edit the same document at the same time.
