Google Drive – How to access it

You’ve got a Google account, so how do you access your Google Drive and its contents?

1. Go to www.google.com
2. In the top right-hand corner, you’ll see a blue “Sign In” button.  Click it and this will take you to the Google sign in page.

3. Type in your username, i.e. the part before “@gmail.com” in your Gmail address.  E.g. brgablog@gmail.com > type in: brgablog  Press “Next”.

---

4. This takes you to the password screen.  Type in your password and click “Sign In”.

5. You’re now logged in! 🙂  Now where is that Drive?  In the top right-hand corner, next to “Images”, you’ll see nine little squares.  Click on that and various options will appear.

6. Click on “Drive” and this will take you to your main Drive folder.

If this is your first time, there will be very little in it.  See my posts on what the menus do.

Note, some of the information above may be out-of-date as Google continually add new features to the apps and make cosmetic changes. I have a set of books, which are periodically updated to include the latest changes.
