Google Drive and Docs Tips

Organise from within a Google Document

You can place a Google doc, presentation, spreadsheet, or any file into a folder from within the document using the folder icon next to the file name.

Google Drive makes using folders a lot more logical. The ability to sync specific folders to your computer and add them to My Drive puts organisation back on the menu. Yes, you can still rely on the powerful search facility to find a document, but you now have a reason to organise your files into folders in Google Docs.

So, if you have decided to start (or continue) organising your files into folders in Google Docs, you can do this from within any open file. Click on the folder icon and a dropdown box will open showing you which folders (if any) the open file belongs to, you can click the Organise button to open up the standard Organise box.

You can also star a file or document using the star icon next to the folder icon, 2 handy ways to organise your open files.

It's also possible to put files into multiple folders: + on the folders you want to put your file in... love this feature... it's like tagging a document!
