I can not express my gratitude enough for the countless hours you dedicate to teaching all of us!! You are without question, the best teacher I have ever had, bar none! Your method is thorough & complete, yet simple and not overwhelming; it's actually somewhat calming for me. Especially for us older adults trying to adjust/update to this tech driven economy, you make it seem easily achievable! So thank you so very, very much!!😊

[@newalzebary4301]

Thank you for the comprehensive explanation!

[@BlackWidowMom]

This is the BEST presentation I’ve come across! Bravo! Thank you so much!

[@wilmagrobbelaar4479]

Thank you. I always ignored Google Drive; however, now I am inspired.

[@markgilder9990]

And here I am at 62, still learning stuff. Thank you.

[@debreale5236]

This is the best presentation I’ve seen, and I’m so grateful to you for putting it together and being so clear about important details. Thank you so much!

[@vanwinkMUSIC]

Such a big help. Excellent pacing, screen shots, and real-world examples of how real people use these tools. I especially appreciate your verbal delivery - clear and slow enough to absorb the ideas. Like being in a classroom with a teacher to actually wants students to understand and apply what they learn. I will view your other videos.

[@rowanverrall]

Really great presentation! So easy to follow. Thank you!

[@barbarabutler6880]

I watched 4 videos before yours and this was the best. You went slow enough for beginners to absorb the information. Thank you.

This tutoriall is one of the best I've ever seen! Thank you so much for all the basics of Google Drive: Docs, Sheets, Forms and Slides. I watched the whole tutorial at one setting because it was presented in such an interesting way that I was eager to move on to the next lesson. With this, i feel empowered to note on job applications that I am familiar with Google Drive (and I REALLY know what that means), and I can continue studying to inceease the knowledge I will bring to my next employer. Thank you, again...VERY well done in every way: presentation, explanation, examples-perfect!

Thank you for this channel. Blessings in return. 🙏

[@TrexTamer]

I’m trying to organize Google documents in one of my folders. As of now I have them ordered ver 1, ver 2, ver 3, etc but my final version the one I want to label “final draft” for some reason I can’t have at the far end for a sort of timeline of progression without it being sent randomly to the second slot. How are they exactly fix that?

[@elearningconsult]

This is great. Please can i use to train teachers this summer? It's a free training session

[@teduribe6346]

Hello how do you delete files? When I click the trash can it’s gone but then it comes back after refreshed

[@user-sg2sy4bn8r]

good

[@judylavallee-dunphy217]

Loved your clarity and ease of explaining. But trying to learn this is a little daunting. So my question is: You keep referring to "links", like giving a person a link so they can view or use the file. Can you please break this down and help me understand how you make a link then give it to someone?

[@1favoritemoments]

Hello, in sheets, why did you "add a row" before creating the fees, the row was there and I can't figure out why, I thought it might be due to the heading but, I don't think that is the answer. You had to "add" the row for it to be a part of the project?

[@mou712]

How can download the shared folders or have a copy of them on my drive?

[@MesameBendicta]

Hey tech is there a microsoft access for this?

[@user-by1wn9xq5e]

[@user-kr3jp9cp3g]

Can I create a URL link to a google drive file?

[@firstdondiego]

Since Google in their infinite wisdom decided to remove the ability to choose your sync location, do you know how to change the sync location?

[@manuellastrollo2168]

how about using google drive on android phone sir.

[@user-hg5gf5ti9s]

how do you set margins

[@1favoritemoments]

Hello again, I am back in class. When you send the "link" to someone, why did you go to "google" and not their email?

[@saifulislamik7270]

🥰

[@user-ps3gp6rf5o]
