Please follow either one of these two methods to add locally saved files to your Google Drive cloud storage:
Option 1:
- Open your Google Drive within Chrome and choose "+ New" in the upper right hand corner
- In the drop down that opens, choose either File upload or Folder, depending on what you are adding
- This will bring up a new window. Locate the file or folder and select Open. If you do not see the item that is being uploaded, ensure that "All file" is selected in the lower left
Option 2:
- Open Google Drive and stay on the My Drive page. Open File Explorer (Manilla Folder icon) and locate the file in question
- Drag and drop the file from the File Explorer window into your drive. If working correctly, you will see the Drive field highlighted blue, and a cloud icon that states "Drop files to instantly upload them"
*Please note: If you drop the file or folder over a folder within your Drive, it will upload them directly in the Folder*
