    You are an excellent teacher. You speak succinctly enough to follow and teach lots of material without telling so many details and stories that my mind starts to wander. I picked up so much useful information. You explain everything so clearly and it is easy to go back and review specific sections. After decades of using only a desktop for all of my work, I'm now trying to advance into working a different way. I, too, would LOVE to see presentations on My Drive and Photos. It would be great to have warnings or tips on how to share files on your computer with My Drive. I'd like to see a list of definitions for all the Google apps because I get confused about which app does what.

    Love this tutorial.
    You asked to let you know if I'm interested in seeing a tutorial on 'Google Drive for Desktop'.
    I am very interested in seeing that as I find it confusing because I don't understand the difference between 'stream', 'sync', and 'mirror'. If you could come up with examples of each and how it looks, I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks a lot for this wonderful step-by-step tutorial. Simple and easy to understand and thorough explanation. I didn't know about the extension, and I'm quite excited after watching the part on installing and using the Google Drive Extension for Chrome as well as downloading from Google Drive.
    Very helpful video! Thank you very, very much.

    Hi Jamie, How do I switch off Google Drive mirroring as it is clogging mu my Mac's memory? (Jamie from Brisbane)

  • @Sentidosdesign
    @Sentidosdesign Před 2 lety +1

    Thanks for this tutorial, and Yes, please! a tutorial about 'Google Drive for Desktop' would be very helpful. I find it confusing: I have the option to have my Drive mirrored, and also the option to upload and sync single folders? isn´t that the same again? Which option should I use and how any of those will behave? I understand that Google unified two previous applications into one, and they kept previous commands and functions from there... But at least for me, it isn´t clear how it all works...

    I have a typed word document saved onto my Google Drive.
    At the beginning of the word document, I have a particular section of text in a text box.
    The problem is when I go to view the document using my phone's Google Drive app, all text is not displaying correctly in the text box - specifically, the last two lines of text in the box are cut off.
    It displays perfectly using Google Drive on my laptop.
    Is there a fix for this?
    Specifications are : Acer Aspire 5552 laptop Windows 7
    Phone is Samsung A10.
    Thank you

So basically the Company I am working for created a (Shared Folder) and they said that I can upload as many Files as I want on it, the Problem is, every time I upload something in that Shared Folder, it takes my space, and apparantly it should take up their space. How can I fix this Problem?

    @ioanacatrinei860 Před 2 lety +1

    Like other CZcamsrs who have notions about Google Drve, you leave very little information about Google Drive for the desktop. There are some issues that are not presented at all about the application settings and the effects of those settings. What you nicely presented is useful, but usually 90% of Drive users already know.

    • @TeachersTech
      @TeachersTech  Před 2 lety +1

      Setting up a shared drive will require admin privileges and also you need to make sure you are part of an organization google account so this feature is available. Usually this is left to the tech admin to create. I could creating another video showing this.
