      The Starred category appears, showing the files you have marked as Starred.

       Double-click the file you want to open.

      The file opens in the default app for that file type. For example, if you double-click a Google Docs document, it opens in the Google Docs app.

      TIP

      What does the Storage category on Google Drive do?

      Click Storage () to display the Storage category, which shows you a list of all the files you have stored on Google Drive and the amount of space each file is taking up. The list is sorted in descending order by default, so the largest files appear at the top, helping you see what is occupying most space.

Create a Folder and Add Files

To organize your files on Google Drive, you will likely want to create various folders and subfolders. For example, you might choose to create a folder for each major project and, inside that folder, a subfolder for each of the project’s components. If needed, you could then create subfolders inside those subfolders.

      Once you have created the folders you need, you can copy or move existing files into the folders or create new files in them.

      Create a Folder and Add Files

      

In Google Drive, navigate to the category in which you want to create a folder.

      Note: If you do not currently have Google Drive open, click Google apps () in a browser tab, and then click Drive () on the Google Apps panel.

       For example, you might double-click My Drive () to display the My Drive category and the folders it contains.

      

If you want to create the new folder inside an existing folder, click that folder.

      The folder’s contents appear.

      

Click New ().

      The New pop-up menu opens.

      

Click Folder ().

      The New Folder dialog box opens.

      

Type the name for the new folder.

      

Click Create.

      The New Folder dialog box closes.

      The Working… pop-up message appears briefly in the lower-left corner of the window while Google Drive creates the folder.

       The new folder appears.

Double-click the new folder.

      The folder opens.

       At first, the new folder has no contents and displays a prompt to drop files in it.

      You can now add files or folders to the new folder.

       For example, click a folder that contains files you want to move into the new folder.

      This example uses the Reference folder.

      The contents of the folder appear.

       Select the files you want to move to the new folder.
