5 Must-Know Google Drive Tips

[@LionelOddell]

For someone who has hearing problems and often have difficulty with KZbin clips, I find you are very clear and precise. So thank you for that and your very useful tips.

[@oldvideogeek7585]

It's really Coool to have a guy like you out there that spends a lot of time just making good information videos about the computer services and programs we all use. I just found out that if I clicked at the bottom of most of your pages it takes me to a page that lists all of your videos how great is that. Keep up the good work.

[@nsmkrb]

This is my first encounter to watch your video. I am really impressed as it is all mature and valid stuff presented by you. I would love to watch your all videos and learn Google and other technology

[@billdillon8139]

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. I didn't know about any of the tips but I especially like working offline.

[@judyweikumbenson199]

I'm not good at reading instructions so thanks for telling me what and how to use Google Drive.

[@tombridge3608]

have just got my very first Chrome OS laptop in the early Black Friday sales, a Pixelbook. Lots and lots to learn and soooo glad I've found your channel. Thank you Steve, I'll be lurking here for a while to come i think!

[@upsideofdownsizing7304]

Thank you, Steve. I'm finding myself using these Google applications more and more.

[@cynthiabradley7891]

I love you for showing me how to recover an 11 page document. The story you told about your daughter's school assignment getting lost and how using "version history" she was able to recover her work. Thank you and Happy Holidays to you and yours.

[@dottotech]

That is great! Version history is SO valuable, especially with an online tool.

[@rickzuccato6998]

Steve, Thank-You for the pods. For us out here in the world who are not computer savvy it helps. It helps because it make me look into the different things you cast and learn what they are for and how to use them. I have been watching you for a couple years now and have used many of the things you show us.I wasn't aloud to good back to college I had to go to work. It did hurt but I aguested to it. Again keep them coming I look forward to them. For all you out there that had the training and college bare with us who didn't. Thanks

[@JC-kb8vb]

The offline is particularly useful. Thank you, Steve!

[@malkahgeller728]

Thank you, Steve! Great stuff. I'm slowly getting used to Google Drive and some of its features; and your videos help a lot.

[@garrymartin2002]

Thanks Steve....really helpful !

[@claudiahottcarcamo]

I REALLY LOVED YOUR VIDEO, Thank you very much Cheers from Chile

[@jtstevenson81]

My favorite Google Drive feature is the ability to share links to your files for anyone to see. That saves SO MUCH trouble. If I create a video, rather than having to send it as a file in an email and wait FOREVER while it attaches to an email, I can create a link out of it from Google Drive and just send people to that. I use that feature constantly.

[@jaygandhi4556]

can u help me to refresh google drive because after deleting 2GB data also it showing storage is full so how to refresh my google drive.

[@alexhenderson87]

@@jaygandhi4556 Same here. Google drive or back up and sync or whatever it's called is awful.

[@trivenikaliki8796]

Nice explanation sir

[@trivenikaliki8796]

Sir what is Google drive offline

[@janedownlane]

I am happy I found your channel. I use Google rather haphazardly but have improved lots since I started watching you. Thanks.

[@samwales5418]

Hi Steve! I'm glad I found you here. I watched you on TV, Channel 11, CHCH, from Hamilton many years ago. You are so knowledgeable! Keep on doing what you're doing.

[@cctenglish]

Liked it, specially the "Publishing Documents to the Web" feature.

[@Candies4Christ]

This was a great video !!! Thank you.

[@roborwiler6705]

Thanks, Steve! I found this video to be helpful for our publishing team.

[@Auctor137]

[@ajwalker4416]

It's videos like this that make me glad I'm a subscriber. Keep up the good work and sharing productivity tips like these. Thank you.

[@KieranColfer]

[@joetylerdale]

Steve, a heartfelt thank you,

[@robbiesmith6530]

Great Tips!

[@rodgill100]

Thanks Steve, enjoying your videos and learning a great deal. Google drive tips was great.

[@TheTriggerTrombonist]

Your Channel is so cool and helpful! Im so glad that I found it. I remember growing up and seeing you on TV after Young & The Restless every day and thinking I wanted to be a tech guy! I'm a professional Bass Trombonist now but my partner is a conputer engineer so close enough! Liked and subscribed and sharing because the bit about uploading a live document blew my mind!

[@dottotech]

Random Fact, I spend 7 years apprenticing as a musical instrument repairman. (Hated trombones....so finicky) Good to have you here!

[@PBS-nm1uu]

love all of your videos very informative, always learning new things from you thanks.

[@chrispistocco]

3 great videos in a row...........LOVE IT!!!

[@rickzuccato6998]

Steve Thank-You , I happened on to your videos just last night and joyfully surprised in your videos they were very good, thanks. I have always leaned towards Windows but now I am going to start using the Google suite of items. Keep those videos coming. Thanks

[@herenowjal]

Another very HELPFUL video ... THANKS so much ... yours is a fantastic channel ... and the aid you provide is GREAT KARMA ...

[@09Biddy]

[@geraldkyle5819]

Thanks again. I am back with you now. I have been very busy, and now I will take time to learn more explicitly.

[@dottotech]

Welcome back!

[@eileensingh9863]

Great tips Steve! I like how you just share the relevant info, thanks!

[@The_Relaxation_Coach]

Really helpful video, thank you!

Happy to understand every word

[@hajimuhammad2928]

Thank You Very Much 🙏 Mr. Dotto.

[@sholly6]

Awesome tips, thanks.

[@mrmartywaring]

I ahve been using Google Drive for ye3ars, but only for cloud storage. I really am starting to integrate Google Docs and Google Sheets. Thanks!!

[@daleanderson1727]

Great stuff, mate, you really help us out a lot. Keep the good stuff coming!

[@Ed_e_BeTo]

Looking to update to Google one and was browsing saw this vid and have it a try. II like your tone and what you seem to be trying to do on this channel. U got a new subscriber.

[@ahsankarim111]

Hey steve you channel is the best to learn from

[@SilvioBritto]

I just love your voice. I wish a Google Assistant with your voice, haha

[@bigjolly1000]

Another great informative video. Thanks Steve

[@sleepyricky4826]

Google Drive offline was the most intriguing! All tips still appreciated.

[@peter_castle]

Great video! I also recommend google drive.

[@teresecampbell8452]

Your KZbin page has been VERY informative and helpful for an older grad student!

[@dottotech]

I'm so glad!

[@thesheetsguy4478]

The constant saving and ability to revert to a previous version has saved me countless times.

[@hypermap]

For google docs sync so you can use off line, google only syncs google docs, google spreadsheets, google whatever etc not ALL your GDrive files, so if you have say pictures or videos in your GDrive these will ALSO show in the indicator of how much space your GDrive files are using in the GDrive cloud storage but these will not be sync'd to your local drive so dottotech was a little wrong there I think.. most google docs etc will use up very little local hard drive space - it is videos that take up the vast majority of storage these days, followed by photos... text takes up almost no storage when we are talking about gigabytes! btw I am a fan of dottotech, he's got some really clear well informed and very useful videos - I find I always learn something from them.

[@flyshacker]

Very useful, Steve! Thank you.

[@maralvor]

Hi Steve. Excellent and most helpful video. Many thanks Regards Ian

[@NicoVeenkamp]

As a projectmanager I have used revision history extensively for the past few years. My preferred Drive functionality. I do have the apps on my phone, but this is pure for review. I have them also on my iPad where I can do some basic editing.

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Helpful tips!! Thank you... be well!✨👍🏾

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

New subscriber... a COVID-19 silver lining!! 😂😃👍🏾🤟🏾🌟

[@juliemai4333]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing these useful tips in an engaging, easy-to-understand presentation!

[@LloydM2]

Hey Steve, Just found your vid. As a fellow techie I have to say this is soooo awesome! Your breakdown was so on point and simple to understand but at the same time made me think of other cool things I could start doing with this in my workflows or just other nerdy things I do on the side. Thanks again and I look forward to more vids and will check out your past content :). Have a great one!

[@kennethhumphrey952]

I'm glad I stumbled on to your site. My only concern is what does Google do with all the data it collects on us but I don't really think you have privacy when you're on the web anyway. At least your getting something out of this anyway.

[@sticohh]

Very helpful. Thank you very much!

[@christopherheffner]

Thanks Steve very informative video, never would have found these on my own.

[@warrenmaloney]

Stunning. One of your best. Thank you

[@simonpackham5780]

Splendid stuff as ever, Steve. Thank you 😊

[@rarahamza]

Great info. Weve been using this. Still have to know more info

[@Andre_V_Montreal]

Excellent as usual. I enjoy all of your videos.

[@MargoBeatty]

Thank you - very good tips, much appreciated!

[@rutastabina729]

Your channel is a real find!

[@WarrenWilson]

Good job, good info well presented . Thanks

[@EJA28]

Thanks for this Steve! I wasn’t aware of any of these so keen to start utilising these great features. Always appreciative of your thorough reviews and tutorials! 😊

[@whatsupdate]

Great tips, thanks Steve. Makes me think I should start using Google drive.

[@AstroRamiEmad]

I have issues with Google Drive notifications, as I integrated it with Slack. I need important notifications from certain folders to come to ring in Slack, without getting million notifications for every change anyone makes to some document in different unimportant folders

[@HughCulver]

Great tips Steve! Curious what is different about publish to the web and sharing a link?

[@rubelynlapida7763]

this video is very helpful. Thanks

[@dottotech]

Glad it was helpful! You're most welcome!

[@AJAviator]

@dottotech For offline use, just install google backup and sync, then you can access google drive through your computers file browser. edit offline and then it syncs when back online.

[@mariach46]

Thank you, you're amazing!!! 😊😊

[@blesstherebel]

Hi there Mr. Dotto! I love the Google Suite of tools and I use a lot of them in large portions of my life. I thought I was pretty familiar with them, but after stumbling upon and watching some of your videos, I've learned that there are so many incredible ways both big and small to maximize my output with all of them! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! :)

[@Cloud-Storage]

Thank you, Steve!

[@ericprouzet3851]

Some other great tips as usual, most this time on Google Doc than Google drive.

[@rmt9321]

Hey I have a question what do you think can about chrome books.

[@goldenhawk786]

Thank you sir! Very useful. Please do a video for Google photos. Thanks.

[@dottotech]

Thanks! We have one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4nIZ2t_rdWkjdE

[@RizzlyricistGaming]

You're the man!. Though I knew of this information. My sentiment still stands good sir.

[@jtstevenson81]

My Google Drive says 74GB of 200GB used :p I pay $30 per year for the 200GB of Google Drive space. I basically have the entire content of the hard drive of my old Dell desktop (the computer I had before I saw the light and switched to Chromebooks) saved there. Thanks for the great video!

[@Cas612]

Can you do a video searching and organizing Google drive?

[@doloresdesroche9515]

Thanks for another great video. I love Google Drive and use it for personal use. I checked my storage and have plenty left. My question is, if I lose my internet I can still use Google Drive? Thanks again

[@dottotech]

I showed you how to use it offline in the video

[@dragoY9955]

Great video. Thanks.

[@decastring]

Hey Steve, love your videos, especially the ones about Google apps and Evernote. Question - how secure is Google drive? Is it safe to store sensitive documents (i.e. contains personally identifiable information)? Thanks!

[@NR-nf1il]

After what just happened to me I'm beginning to wonder just how safe it is. Somebody I do not know somehow is able to get on my Google Drive and post p***. I don't think I would put sensitive data there

[@fonzireyes]

very useful. thank you. subscribed.

[@dottotech]

welcome aboard

[@Forgivenessdaily]

Much appreciated video.

[@CreditFast]

When I need something explained to me I go to Dottotech. Thanks!

[@santeesioux5912]

Thanks Steve. I'm just trying to learn to use Google Drive. I'd like to see you do a video about how to put files on Google Drive & how to sync.

[@robsanchez5742]

Santee: I came here for the same question. I have such trouble syncing, sometimes it works and then NOT..uggh. But from what I am learning, it may (for me) be better to keep it all on the cloud and work from there. Only keep offline files on your computer harddrive that you may need in the plane.

[@tjwatson5046]

Great help Thanks

[@democastmedia3235]

The publish to the web feature has blown my mind! I also spell 'the' incorrectly :) Thanks for sharing.

[@Phil-tv9qm]

Hi Steve Thanks for introducing me to Google Forms - an excellent resource. I have set up a questionnaire to get feedback on a recent trip. This is to go out to multiple email addresses. In Gmail, to hide email addresses from the recipient list, you can use the Bcc trick, either for individuals or Groups. But how do you do the same in Forms? There does not appear to be a Bcc field. I know that you can put in a link for the form in a standard Gmail email, but that requires two operations by the recipient - click the link and fill in the questionnaire - I want the questionnaire to pop up straight away; more chance of getting it completed. Any thoughts? BTW - I thought that I was teh only person who always types teh .....

[@nivlek2538]

Simply love Dottotech.

[@anothergoogleuser]

Good video, shanks for sharing.

[@haines96]

Steve I like how you added a bit more structure to your video with wipe screen and summary list at the end!! (I would suggest perhaps making the wipe faster with only one sound effect, but either way is is nice. )

[@ajinkyakolhe5480]

just commenting to get more recommendations like this from youtube

[@AdrianSnell]

Great channel - keep up the good work!! One question - is it possible to disable Google Drive? The reason we have two gmail accounts - one for me - the other for my better-half - I have my google drive bookmarked in chrome - so one click and I'm in my drive - the only problem is it always goes to the wrong google drive - then I have to click on the user photo and re-select - and I just want to disable her - not physically you understand!! Hope i explained enough...any ideas?

[@JamesKimbley]

Steve, I am pretty certain you don't need the Chrome extension to setup offline in Drive. It now works natively in Chrome.

[@dannymcphee]

Thanks Steve, that was great!!! Question, If you check the box to work offline on your computer, does that get sync'ed to your other devices??

[@dottotech]

Just the computer you do it on.

[@clareshef]

Very useful especially the use of Google off-line (is it possible to use selected folders offline- so that we can select just the items we want and not sync everything?)

[@dottotech]

Yes, you can select certain folders
