are online and accessible to other devices, such as your smartphone 
or tablet. To find your documents, do the following:

Launcher

 icon.

2. Select 

All Apps

 (or type "Google Drive").

3. Select the 

Google Drive 

icon.

4. Select 

My Drive

 (or whatever sub-folder you’ve created to put your 

files in).

Since your files are saved in Google Drive, they are saved online and 
available anywhere you have internet access. To access your files 
from any internet-connected computer do the following:
1. Open the computer’s web browser.
2. In the browser’s address bar, type "drive.google.com" (this is the 

Google Drive

 web address).

3. Login using your Google account username and password.
4. Select 

My Drive

 (or whatever folder you’ve created to put your files 

in).

How to share documents with other users

1. Select the 

Share

 button 

 in the upper right corner of your 

document.

2. Add people by typing in their email address. The sharing option 

works with your Gmail contacts, so as you type your email contacts 
appear for you to quickly select.

3. After you select 

Done 

, they’ll receive an email letting them 

know a document has been shared with them.
