Tech Tool of the Week: Google Drive for iPad/iPhone

In light of our recent tech training on Google Drive, this is the perfect time to build upon your skills by trying out Google Drive on your phone or tablet!  Google Drive is available not only through the web or on your desktop, but also as an app for your iPad, iPhone, or Android.  Recently Google released an updated version of Google Drive for mobile devices that has some handy new features.  Here are some of the things you can do on Google Drive for your iPhone or iPad:

• Access all the files that you add to Google Drive on your computer
• Share a file (such as a document, photo, etc.) with others
• Read the most up-to-date version of your documents
• Create and edit new documents 
• Format text in your documents (change color, font, size, etc.)
• Create new Google Drive folders and move files into folders

• Upload files (like photos and videos) from your iPhone/iPad directly into Google Drive

Best of all, any changes you make while working in Google Drive on your phone or tablet will be automatically synchronized, so you will see all of those changes the next time you access Google Drive on your computer!

Google Drive for iPhone/iPad/Android is great for working on the go.  You can even make files available offline so you can view them when you're in a place with no Internet access (like on a plane).  It's perfect for jotting down notes in meetings, too.  Give it a try!  Stop by the IT office for help installing and setting up Google Drive on your tablet or smartphone, and come to Tech Tuesdays for help getting started using Google Drive on your phone or tablet.
