Is your Google Drive becoming a wasteland for documents and files. You have created so many Google Docs, Presentations, Forms, and Sheets, but now can't find them? Well the previous post on Searching your Drive can help locate them. But how can we do a better job of organizing our stuff? 1. Create Folders - putting things in folders helps declutter and organize. You can easily create folders and sub-folders. 2. Color Code your folders - If you right click on a folder you can click the color pallet and chose a color that will help you more easily identify what is in the folder. 3. Add Icons To Your Folder. This is something I just learned about this week. You can copy and image and then rename your folder to include that image. Click the link above to learn more about how to add icons. This may not be something you do for every folder, but it may help you with organizing some of your work. 4. SHIFT-Z Put a document in more than one place. Shift-Z allows you to have the same document exist in more than one place. It is important to note that if you delete the document in one place you are deleting it from your Drive. The positive of this is you can put important documents like rubrics, lesson plans, etc. in more than one place so you are able to access them more easily.
