Description

You can store any file in Drive: pictures, drawings, videos, and more. You only need to store a file in Drive on one device, and it will automatically be available on all your other devices. There are three ways to get your files into Drive.

1. Upload files to Drive on the web

Upload files

One way to store files in Drive is to upload a copy of them using your web browser:

  1. Go to Drive.
  2. Click   , select File upload or Folder upload, and then choose the file or folder you want to upload.
  3. Click Open.

If you’re using the latest version of Chrome or Firefox®, you can simply drag files directly from your computer to the Drive page on your browser.

If you upload a file that matches the name of an existing file, Drive will add it as a new version, instead of creating a duplicate. To see the previous version of that file, you can manage versions.

When you see Upload complete, your files have uploaded successfully and can be accessed in any browser or device that has Drive installed.

2. Upload files from your phone or tablet

You can also use the Drive app to store files on your Android or iOS device. (If you decide later to uninstall the app, your Drive files won’t be affected and can still be accessed from Drive on the web.)

  1. Depending on your device, choose one of these options:
    • Android phone or tablet: Tap Google Play .
    • iOS devices: Tap App Store .
  2. Find and install the Google Drive app.
  3. Open the app containing the file you want to upload, tap Share, and then tap Drive.
