Being 75 years old, computing will always be my "second language." But I try to keep up. I'm now training to be a Museum Docent and all the training files are being available to me via Google Drive. So I wanted a basic tutorial. This was very helpful to access and manage the files coming to me.
God bless you, you are a clear example that it"s never too late to learn🙏🏾❤️
Thats great grandma 👵 you are the best . Im sure at your age you never thought technology would advance this much 🥰
We love you

As a retired college professor, I speak from experience when I say that explaining something simple is much harder than explaining something hard. You have to hit a narrow window between condescending to the audience and losing them, and you have to sound credible without sounding either bored *or* unduly invested. You have to enunciate without taking on a conspicuous affect, you have to present confidence and humility at the same time, and you have to anticipate the things that the audience might not know, even if you know them.
All of which is a long, college-professor kind of way of saying that this is an absolutely *outstanding* job.
Noob come 1v1 bot
Many thanks kelvin it was helpful and poweful knowledge
Aww kid take this candy and do your homework 🍬
:)
a sing song tone is annoying, so is too much 'face', the rest is superb
I should know better by now, Kevin. I frequently make the mistake of looking for the shortest "explainer" video, only to come back to your tutorials with my tail between my legs.
Other folks go so fast it is hard to follow what they are doing. One of the things I love most about your videos is the use of the cursor effects you employ; you make it so easy to follow your examples.
Kevin use simple and clear language, straight to the points, nothing more, nothing less, there are no redundancy words, very helpful instruction, thanks
Would love a series of tutorials for all of Google's programs and apps!
Thanks for all past and future videos, love em, and find a lot of value in them!
YES Please!
Dear Kevin Another great explanation. I love how you explain things and also you don't overuse the yellow highlighter circle. You just make sure we have found the spot but don't circle around and around which is most annoying. Another reason why I love your videos. Thank you so much. Barbara
Brilliant. I grew up with chalk & blackboards, so at 79 this is a bit confronting, but this video has been incredibly helpful. Thank you Kevin.
Thank you for explaining google to an intelligent person with no computer aptitude. The simplicity of explanation was not insulting but very helpful. Once again thank you.
This was actually a very basic, yet outstanding tutorial. I was expecting this to be one of those lousy explanations, but this actually went step by step
I found this very informative but it went a little fast for me. It is definitely worth a second and third view for full comprehension.
Got a second laptop and I'd been going in circles trying to figure out all the ins and outs of getting my info over until I found this video. Thanks so much for creating such a detailed and informative video.
Hi Kevin. You are my number one UA-camr when I am looking for a computer system/s tutorial. Your videos have helped me not only at work but also during my master's degree. Thank you. Keep doing what you are doing.
I'll watch this a few times. Kevin is an outstanding teacher.
Thank you Kevin for your lucid explanation on the use of google drive. You're an amazing teacher. Looking forward to more of such tutorials from you !
Kev, you're the man dude. This is the most comprehensive tutorial so far. Well done, thanks.
Concise, efficient, and pertinent to all things basic. Thank you, great tutorial!
I must say, that you make the best tutorials, Kevin. I (and I'm sure many others) learn so much from your videos. Thank you!
I have been resistant to migrating to the google platform from microsoft. I know I have to get with the times. I just got a new MacBook and I want to get on board with google. I have a bunch of microsoft documents to migrate over and feel more confident after watching your video. I LOVE THIS VIDEO - thank you very much! Your explanations were concise and clear. I will be going through and watching all of your other videos! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I chair a professional committee and we’re in the process of preparing a Virtual Conference and have been given a dedicated Google drive for our committee to upload videos and materials for the Conference. Not all of us are proficient with Google drive and docs. Yours is the video I am sharing with the committee! Thank you from a new subscriber!!
Awesome as always! Simon Sinek's "Start With Why" is a great foundation for an elevator statement for us copywriters and our clients.
Thank You Kevin , this is exactly what I have been looking for
In fact I was going to suggest you to do a tutorial on Google drive,
It 's a timely sensible work !
First video that came up when searching 'Google Drive' in UA-cam to get more info on how to start using it. Found this video to be SUPER helpful and has taken away some of the anxiety around starting to use a cloud storage platform. Thanks for such a useful video!
Hi, this is my first introduction to your channel. No waffle, great speed and highly informative. I've been unsure how to migrate and which cloud service to use. This was helpful, thank you.
Hey Thanks for the video, that was awesome! I love you're teaching, I've learned a lot. I really appreciate you taking the time to teach us these, THANKS!!
Clear and detailed intro to Google Drive. I used it to install and get started.
I plan to watch the intros to apps like Google Docs and Google Sheets.
Kudos, Kevin. To save time, I usually look for shorter videos. From now on, I'm going to your channel first, before looking elsewhere. You delivered more than I expected, which left me looking for your "How to use Google Drive - Tutorial for Intermediate Users" (I hope you have one)!
The most amazing thing in your video beside your voice that you go to the point without wasting time.👍
Kevin you make the best tutorials for all things day to day tech. Thank you and may God bless you abundantly
Such a great instructor! And very informative content. I’m currently working on assignments and looking for ways to save files efficiently, so thanks for this video Kevin! I’m also new to google drive. 👍🏻
As a person who's good at Google Drive, I think you explained it super nicely!
You very briefly covered the Computers function, but I think it's one of the most powerful features in Drive.
It synchronises with your computer and automatically uploads files and folders within seconds - this means you can mirror your computer files and folders in the cloud. It's a brilliant system, so much so, I hardly use MyDrive at all.
Thank you for this content. Kevin, you provide the clearest IT tutorials to be found anywhere on the internet.
Let's examine him with the issue mentioned above...
Thank you! I’m trying to save a backup of a course project I’m currently working on and this was so easy to understand.
Anyone here simply to appreciate how clean Google Drive looked before the re-design?
You are officially my "go to" guy for computer help... even with 35+ years from DOS to all versions of Windows, I still have a lot of "I didn't know that" tips and tricks that I pass along to others. I was starting to think about switching from Windows to Google or Linux but lately thinking about learning all three and then deciding. Windows 11/12 will be the only options for Microsoft after October 2025. My hardware (Win 10) is too old to convert. I want to be prepared NOW.
And three thumbs up for the video on "Google sites to created website with domain" ... that will be my next project.
Very precise and educating. Can updating the app have any effect on the saved files? Thanks so much for this tutorial. 👍👌❤
Thank you! I just started using google drive and still have so much to learn. This was a good start.
Great video Kevin... I give this to my clients. Saves me from having to explain all this. Excellent presentation.
I have been using back up and sync for the past 2-3 years & I love it...almost. The problem with google drive was always not having the ability to access the files stored in the drive (cloud) directly from my computer. Yes I could create 1 local folder, complete that project and when I am done I could upload it to the drive but that kinda defeats the purpose for cloud storage. All that does is add extra steps. One day I came across back up & sync...then fell in love. My google drive folders are as easy to access & use as the traditional windows folders (documents, downloads, this PC, etc etc etc). NOWWW..3 years later & I have realized something that is driving my crazy. I know there has to be a simple fix but idk where that fix is. So essentially back up and sync made things seem easier but having backup and sync (from where I stand right now) COMPLETELY removes the primary utility of cloud storage.
Most people use cloud storage for 1 of 2 reasons (or both). #1 the files will always be there even if your phone or computer breaks. #2 to save storage on devices.
I just realized running back up and sync, therefore allowing me to access google drive folders locally, also stores the physical files locally. So I have ~63 GB saved in google drive. Well when I go digging through the storage section found in settings on my computer, my biggest local storage consumption is coming directly from that 63 GB drive folder. Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you. This was a big help and saved me a lot of time in trying to learn everything on my own.
Such a helpful tutorial deserves a big thumb up. Thanks!
You are top! You are the first UA-camr who could explain me the Google Drive so that I could now sync. Drive function could set up... THANK YOU
I like that Kevin's videos are efficient, not spoken in some hard to understand version of English, and that Kevin is not some gross fat guy with a beard.
Great information in a quick format. Thank you Kevin for going through these details about Google Drive.
Thank you Kevin sir for explaining step-by-step about Google Drive. This is really helpful.
Extremely helpful. Clear, concise & hits on all the basic but important features.
I learned a lot. I am always hate trying new computer apps. You made it look easy. Thank you.
Very informative. Thank you so much! I was panicking because I didn't know how to use google drive!
This saved my time
Thanks of a tutorial for beginner. It is so helpful for a walk through.
Yeah, that was probably the best explanation - ever - of Google Drive. Two thumbs up, Kevin! Well done.
Kevin, I always enjoy your videos. You are the calibre that I'd imagine would work for Microsoft
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very clear and detailed explanation. May God Bless you.
I am from SriLanka, you are a great teacher !
hey kevin ... I just was looking for :3 so happy for doing u a tutorial
I am learning a lot from you everyday! God bless you Kevin.
Quite clear and straight to the point.
Thank you Kevin sir for explaining about Google Drive. I have found the video more helpful :)

This is awesome Kevin. Google drive has been such a life saver for me. :)
Hi Kevin, thank you for teaching. You are very clear. I appreciate it.------Jan
Very useful video for both new and expert users!
The storage problem has been resolved! Fantastic.
Wow! "Using Google Drive" is fantastic. I will refer to it often. Kevin, maybe a tutorial on replacing Cloud Print which goes away in 2021?
Thank you Kevin, that was very helpful
Super helpful Kevin. Short, sweet, and on point.
Great video Sir Kevin . Thank you for your teachings...
This is great - SO super helpful. I've felt lost before! Thank you!!
another great learning from you today. Thank You.
The thing I love about Google Drive a lot better than iCloud is that you aren’t limited on storage because if you want to store more content you can create a second account to add more content that way you’re not limited on space where with iCloud you have to buy more storage if you use up all your space.
Thanks a lot Kevin. This is awesome tutorial.
Great job Kevin!!! Very helpful! One thing is that my experiance shows that for syncing, I understand that you will need Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge-Chromium. Firefox or other browsers may not work for syncing.
Thank you for teaching us how to use Google drive. I really learnt a lot. You are a good teacher. Thx
Thank you for this very understanding video tutorial on how to learn to use GOOGLE DRIVE. Certainly, I have never used this app in my past and present cellphones... now I will do.
Excellent job of explaining the features and benefits of Google Drive. Now I am looking for someone that can actually explain to this beginner how to put my hands on the handle bars, feet on the peddles and start going somewhere.
Thank You

Great job Kevin, I enjoyed every second of it.
Could I make a questioner by using google forms?
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH ...very informative
Thanks, it was easy to follow and learn. Love it
Great intro to Google Drive. I have a very elementary question that will make you smile: After I work on a document and close it, I have also closed the Drive so have to reopen it. When I am finished with my work, I find that I can have up to ten or more copies of the Drive open. I know there is a better way. I am on a MacBook pro.
