    I am just starting to play with the tools and options my Chromebook provides. I am not using the shutdown as the reason, but the fact that I am not a spring chicken and therefore want to try to keep the wheels lubricated in my aging brain! I plan to go back and revisit some of your videos and follow along with you, just to see how far I can advance. I usually watch the majority of your videos, though they are aimed at professionals and content creators instead of a retired, elderly UA-cam junkie! Thank you for your time and clarity. I really appreciate websites like yours.

    Shift+Z allows you to add the selected file to multiple locations, so it will be present in both folders while being the same exact file, not a copy

      That was a great tip. I have a question though. Do you know how to dissociate it from multiple folders. I put a file in 3 different locations, but now I want to keep it in only one. There doesn't seem to be a working way. I tried removing it from other folders, but when I do that, it actually removes the file altogether. And when I restore it, it goes to all the 3 folders again.

    If anyone does use an image through save to drive, YOU MUST GET THE ATTRIBUTION INFORMATION. Failure to attribute an image, even if you change it, violates copyright laws.
    My favorite trick is as others have said, color coding the folders. I do this in Windows, having them in the same color scheme is a game changer.

    Great stuff. I'm looking for a way to watch a folder and (if) someone, in our organization) uploads a file there in that folder then I get a flagged cell in Spreadsheets or a message/email/hangout anything. We have thousands of NULL folders and it's time consuming to constantly chase people or manually go through the folders to see if team members have sent in requested files. P.S. most of these people work in construction so aren't going to have time to link drive files and send emails.
