Google Drive is Google’s cloud-based file storage service that keeps all your work organized and accessible from any device. It allows you to store, view, and edit different file types without additional software — helping you work efficiently in one secure, central location.

In this course, you’ll learn to navigate Google Drive, upload and manage files and folders, and organize your content across multiple formats. You’ll explore how to arrange, search, and modify files, as well as how to use shared drives to collaborate with teams. The course covers creating shared drives, adding and managing members, and maintaining content within a collaborative workspace.

You’ll also discover Drive’s advanced features and integrations. Learn how to share files securely, assign collaborator permissions, and use templates to maintain consistency across projects. Finally, you’ll explore tools that enhance productivity — such as offline access, Drive for desktop (File Stream), and apps from the Google Workspace Marketplace — to tailor Drive to your workflow.
