Google Drive is a lot more than just a
free online storage service it also
allows you to create and add a variety
of different files for example you might
create a Google Doc which is similar to
a file you could create a Microsoft Word
a Google sheet which is similar to what
you might create a Microsoft Excel
or a presentation which is similar to
what you might create in Microsoft
PowerPoint creating a new file in your
Google Drive is pretty easy just click
the new button then select the type of
file you want to create in this example
I want to make a document so I'm going
to choose Google Docs
your file will appear on a new tab in
your browser window now you can locate
and select untitled document in the
upper left corner and give your file a
name when you're done press Enter if we
go back to our Google Drive you can see
that the file has already been saved
here and we can just double-click to
open it again
now you may also notice that there is no
save command and that's because every
file you create on Google Drive is saved
automatically as you work
one other thing we'd like to show you is
how to create a document from a template
to get started go to drive.google.com
forward slash templates then choose a
category or use the search bar to find
something more specific in this example
I'm looking for a resume template
when you find a template you wake click
preview to view it
and if you like the way it looks go
ahead and click use this template a new
file will be created on your Google
Drive with the selected template you can
then customize it with all your own
information to fit your needs
you know the basics you're ready to dive
in and start creating your own files on
Google Drive
