user friendly and therefore using Google Drive
and Google Docs is much easier than most cloud
storage solutions.

Drive button and choose the option to create a
new folder or to create any office document.

your google drive simply drag and drop the file in
that folder or root to begin your upload.

After uploading the file, we can also share that
file or data with anyone specific or can create a
public link to share without any restriction. To do
that right-click on the file and select share
option.

can share this file to an individual by entering the email address of the
recipient or we can click on the option on the right top corner “Get
shareable link” to make a public link to share it with
anyone publicly.

After clicking on Shareable link, we will get a
window from we can copy the public link to this to
share it with any medium, such as email instant
