Create and manage files with Google Drive
Google Drive lets you create, edit, and share many types of documents, including richly formatted text documents
(like this one), spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, and even web forms. You can store all your files in Drive,
including ones uploaded from Microsoft Word. You can easily organize and search for docs. And since your docs
are in the cloud, you can access them from a web browser on any computer, not just from your Chromebook.

Create a New Doc

Upload files to Google Drive
You can upload files from other computers to Google Drive. Upload a file in its
native format to view. Or convert it to Google format so you can edit it. You can do this with dozens of file types,
including Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, PhotoShop, Open Office, and many more.
To upload files from another computer, perform these steps on that computer. To upload from an external
storage device like a USB drive, connect the device to your Chromebook and perform these steps on the
Chromebook.
