[h=3]Introduction

​

Google Drive is a free service from Google that allows you to store files from

your computer online and access them anywhere using the cloud. Google Drive

also gives you access to one of Google's most popular services, Google Docs







Google Docs is a free, web-based application for creating

documents, spreadsheets, and more. In this lesson, you'll learn

more about Google Drive and Google Docs and how the cloud can help

you in your everyday life

[h=3]What is Google Drive?
In the spring of 2012, Google introduced Google Drive, a cloud-based storage system

that allows you to keep your documents, photos, videos, and other files online. Whenever

you place files on Google Drive, they are stored on internet servers rather than your

computer's hard drive. You can then access those files from any computer with an internet

connection or even a mobile device, like a tablet or smartphone. Drive even allows you

to share files with your family, friends and co-workers

Why Use Google Drive?


Google Drive is one of the most advanced cloud storage services available today, offering

five gigabytes (5 GB) of free storage space. If you've never used a cloud-based

storage service like Google Drive before, take a moment to consider the advantages

of keeping your files online. Because files can be accessed from any computer with

an internet connection, Drive eliminates the need to email or save a file to a USB

drive. And because Drive allows you to share files, working with others becomes


easier than ever before

​

​

The introduction of Google Drive has raised privacy concerns among some users. Despite

what you may have heard, Google Drive keeps your files private and secure. However, storing

files on the cloud is not without some risk. It's possible that your files could be lost by the server

or hacked and viewed by someone else. Though the chances of this happening are very low, you

should never keep your only copy of an important document in the cloud

[h=3]What is Google Docs?

Google Docs is a free, web-based application that lets you create, share, and

manage documents, or docs. If you've ever used a productivity suite like Microsoft Office, some

things about Google Docs might seem familiar. For instance, the types of docs you can

work with resemble files that can be created with various Microsoft Office programs


These are the types of docs you can create and share with Google Docs:

• 
  Documents: For composing letters, flyers, essays, and other text-based files (similar to Microsoft Word documents).
• 
  Spreadsheets: For storing and organizing information (similar to Microsoft Excel worksheets).
• 
  Presentations: For creating and presenting slides (similar to Microsoft PowerPoint slideshows).
• 
  Forms: For collecting and organizing data.
• 
  Drawings: For creating simple vector graphics or diagrams.

[h=3]Why Use Google Docs?

There are several reasons many people find Google Docs useful. You can access it anywhere, and

it's easy to share and collaborate on docs. Google Docs lets you decide exactly who you

want to see your docs by offering three sharing settings. You can choose to

• Keep a doc private
• Share it with a few people
• Make it public on the web

You can also customize these settings to allow others to edit your

doc. This can be extremely useful if you're working on a doc with

a group of people. Instead of sending multiple versions of a document

back and forth as you each make edits, you will all be able to make

comments and edit the same file in real time


Before Google Drive, Google Docs existed as its own service. If you

are already familiar with Google Docs and would like to learn what will

change by upgrading to Google Drive, check out this video from Google on Exploring Google Drive

[h=2]Getting Started with Google Drive

[h=3]Introduction

​

In order to use Google Drive, you will need a Google Account. Google

Accounts are free, and signing up for one is fairly simple. During the

process you will also receive a Gmail (Google Mail) address and Google+ profile. Once

you've created your account, you'll be able to use your Gmail address to access not only Google Drive, but

other Google services like Calendar, YouTube, Reader, and more




In this lesson, you'll learn how to create a

new Google Account and how to install and access Google Drive. In addition, you'll also

become familiar with the Google Drive interface




​

[h=3]Creating an Account

In order to create a Google account, you'll need to enter some information, like your name, birthdate, and location. Creating

a Google account will automatically create a Gmail (Google Mail) email address

and a Google+ profile, as well. Using Gmail, Google's free email

service,or Google+, Google's social network, is completely optional, so don't

feel obligated to use these services


If you have a Gmail address, you already have a Google Account, so you

won't need to create an account—you can simply sign in to Google using your Gmail information

You will now need to enter your information into the form. Type your first name and last name.



Type the Google username you want to use. This will be both your Google Account

name and Gmail address. Google checks the availability of the username

to make sure that name hasn't already been taken

Typing your Google username


Type your desired password. Just like with any online service, it's important to choose a strong password—in other words,

one that is difficult for someone to guess. When you type your desired password, Gmail will tell you whether

it is strong enough, and if it's not strong enough you can modify it.

Creating a strong password

Enter your birthday month, day, and year. If you prefer not to give out your birthday, you can enter a random date. Select your gender.

Typing Birthday and selecting Gender



Optional: If you would like Google to text you your password if you ever forget

it or need to reset it, enter your Mobile phone number. This is not required to

sign up for a Google Account


Optional: If you would like Google to help keep your account secure by

emailing you if there is unusual activity happening with your account, enter an

alternate email address in the Other email address box

Fields for contact information


Next, you will need to enter the verification text. You will also need to select your location.

Typing the verification text and selecting Location


Review the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and check the box to accept.


Review the About personalization link and check the box if you would like to participate in


Google +1 content and ads. We will leave the box empty


Click Next step to continue.

Agreeing to Terms of Service



The Create your profile page will appear. Click Add Profile Photo if you

wish to add a photo to your Google+ profile. If you do not want a profile


photo at this time, click Next step. You can add a profile photo later, if you change your mind

Continuing to the next step


The Google welcome page will appear. This page will help explain the basics

of your Google account and will remind you of your new Google username and Gmail address
