Creating a Google Folder 

  • Go to drive.google.com and login. If you don't already have a Google account, click Create a new account now. 
  • In your Google Drive, click the NEW button on the upper left, and select Folder.
  • In the pop-up window, enter a descriptive name for your new folder, e.g., Scenario-Based Assessments.
  • Click Create. This folder will now appear in your Google Drive.​

Adding Files to a Google Folder

  • ​Once you have a folder in Google Drive, you're ready to add files to the folder.
    • ​You may create a new folder in Drive as directed above; you may also upload folders from your computer into Drive.
    • To add a Google folder that has been shared with you to your Drive, right-click on the folder, select “Add to My Drive” (4th option down in resulting right-click menu). If the folder is already in your Drive, this option will not be visible.
  • You can drag and drop files/folders directly into a Google folder from your Desktop or Drive if you're using the latest version of Chrome or Firefox.  
Tip:
Click on one file and then hold down your Control key to select multiple files at once. (On a Mac, click on one file, and then hold down Shift key to select multiple files at once.)
  • You may also add files to a folder by right-clicking on a file in your Drive, selecting Move to..., click on desired folder destination from pop-up list, and click on Move to send that file to selected folder. 
Note:
Right-Click = Control-Click on a Mac 
  • If you are in a document in Google Drive that you want to move to a different folder, go to File, select Move to folder..., click on desired folder destination from pop-up list, and click on Move to finish. 
  • Make sure that your folder's Share settings are On -Anyone with the link can view.
