How to Upload Files to a Shared Google Folder

Are you working on a project with your team or client? Do you share files back and forth where each of you edits the file? Are you gathering client content and need a place for them to upload documents, images, or videos?

Google Drive is a great place to share and work on projects together. Here are steps to upload files and folders to a shared Google Drive folder.

  1. Open link or folder that was shared with you.
  2. In the top left of the Google Drive folder is a button titled New.
  3. Click on New.
    A drop down will appear:
    Folder: Click folder to create a new folder.
    File upload: Click file upload to upload one individual file from your hard drive.
    Folder upload: Click folder to upload an entire folder from you hard drive.
  4. Whether you click on File upload or Folder upload, you will be prompted to locate your file or folder on your device’s hard drive. Once you locate that file or folder, click open.
  5. The file or folder will begin to upload. You can view the progress of the upload in the bottom right of the Google Drive.

PRO TIP: To delete a file or folder after uploading, simply click once on the file or folder and press the delete key on your computer.
