Finding your documents

are online and accessible to other devices, such as your smartphone
or tablet. To find your documents, do the following:
1. Select the Launcher icon.
2. Click to select All Apps (or type "Google Drive").
3. Select the Google Drive icon.

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).

4. Select My Drive (or whatever folder you’ve created to put your files
in).
How to share documents with other users

know a document has been shared with them.
