    As a college student, Google drive is one of the most important things. Google drive is my main storage for college related stuff and also where I create documents and presentations. I never thought it could get any easier so I really appreciate all of these tips. They're actually useful.

    The tip about voice typing, is the best thing since sliced bread. I do a lot of video recordings on Screencast o matic, and I find scripting ensures that I cover all the necessary material unlike if I ad lib the content while capturing my screen. So this is good. It even understands and captures my Jamaican accent, which is even more marvelous. Great tip.

    Wow, these tips were gold! The doc.new feature blew my mind. I guess you could make it a bookmark on the bookmark bar and make the process even faster. Also, I didn't know you could add multiple files into an email at one time with the drive. The other tips I use but these were great. Thanks for making drive a little more simple "Pun Intended".

    Just looked at some of your videos for using Google Keep and Google Drive. They are really going to help me get the most out of these. I discovered, though, that "voice record" on Drive is only available if you are using a Chrome browser

  • @JohnGibsone
    @JohnGibsone 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another great video Scott - thanks. Just yesterday I finished a workshop on Drive (etc.) at my local SeniorNet. I passed a link to this to the attendees as I found it very useful and interesting - and it covered some things I wasn't aware of. You're always learning!

    They where all spectacular. Question: when sending via gmail, can the recipient download the file? Should I change the invitation to "edit" in order for the recipient to do it? Thanks!

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can allow them to download the file without giving them Edit permissions. Just select the gear icon on the share screen to make sure this is enabled (it usually is by default).

  • @MKTutorials4u
    @MKTutorials4u 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks Scott for your tips. Can you make a video how to sync folder on my hard drive with my google drive and how to check whether all my files and folders are copies. What actually happens is that Google Sync makes it very slow and sometimes due to slow internet all my files are not copied and I have no clue whether all my files and folders are copied or not?

    Tip #1 has always been my question on my mind and was wondering if there was an extension to download or buttons to add to the toolbar. But it's as easy as typing in search bar wow

  • @bethvance1
    @bethvance1 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Loved these tips! Ijust recently discovered the voice to text feature, and was able to "write" an entire 60 page book that I could then edit, add photos, etc.
    One problem I had with that was when I wanted to add quote marks. I was able to say Period, comma, new paragraph, with no problem, but not quote marks. Is there a way to do that in voice to text in google docs?

  • @johnmulcahy9245
    @johnmulcahy9245 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    One thing I've noticed about the Voice to Text is you get better results if you speak a little slower than normal and take care to pronounce more deliberately. I find the faster I speak and/or the less deliberate I am about my pronunciation, the more errors will be made.
    Another thing is the microphone will shut off (turn grey) automatically if you wait too long - it's a fairly short time, maybe 2 minutesish.
    One final thing is once you start doing any sort of formatting (bold, italics etc, etc, etc) within the document, the microphone will automatically shut off. You might have to click things twice to use them.
    As for a tip, if you prefer standing up &/or moving around while using Voice to Text, open the doc on both your computer and mobile device (I use my phone). You're now free to wander or position yourself as you like without going out of mic range, and you can use the computer to do any formatting/editing afterward using a bigger screen.

    How safe is link sharing? It is assumed that anybody with the link will have access to the files. Do you know if there is a way to removed the sharing link?

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, you can always remove the sharing link if desired.

    Thank you, Scott. Another great video! I use the following extension to start a new doc, sheet or slide file: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-docs-quick-create/bldgenmjegcnjebiongilahhcjldgmlm
    That way, I only have to click on the icon to do so. I use the colored folder system which you recommended in a past video. It works well for me.

    DO NOT USE google drive it is very slow. I tried to use it on my mobile and pc... Sync beatwen them is very slow, about 2+ minutes for 30kb 1 file. It is a shame. I need sync some files on mobile-pc but and I need fast sync, about 5-10sec.
