 * 1) Click the upload button in the upper left of your **DRIVE** window. This is what it looks like.[[image:mrsswansonsclass/upload.PNG width="33" height="32"]]
 * 2) Choose **file** or **folder** depending on whether you want to upload a single file or a folder with several files.
 * 3) Find the file you want to upload, click on it, and click open.
 * 4) It will appear in your drive.

==**FYI ~ If you create a file in your drive using document, presentation, or spreadsheet you can edit it directly in your drive and your changes will be saved automatically no matter where you are... home, school, library wherever you are connected to the Internet. HOWEVER, if you create a word doc, powerpoint, or excel file on your computer you will have to upload it. Once it is uploaded, if you wish to make changes, you will have to download it, change it, and upload it again. THEREFORE, it makes sense to create as many of your docs a possible in your Google Drive. **== = = =For Teachers:=
