I love your videos. Can you do a tutorial on google for small businesses and productivity? Does google have features similar to Microsoft teams especially where scheduling/shifts are concerned?
Thank you so much, I learned a lot.
❤️it. Thank you. Massive help for a 50 year old like me, who's not too tech savvy.🙏🏻 I left school in 87 just as p.c.'s we're being introduced to schools,so people of my generation have to play catch up, generally because Tech for business wasn't something we learned at school, nor was it something we used for the 1st ten years of a career. We were all in our mid 20s to early 30s before The Tech Toolbox was common place both in personal and work life. I bought my 1st Desk top p.c aged 29 in the year 2000.🤔🤔.. people my age will always be playing catch Up with the tech world do you see, so video tutorials are key to surviving for us old folk.. 😂🤣 Thank you very much young man.🙏🏻. ✌🏼&❤️Tommy
It would be nice to have the breakdown of the video in the descriptions so we can find the specific tip we would like.
Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 I learnt something new Thanks for this video My favourite one was browser one and keyboard shortcuts.

Adding a shortcut of a shared folder on your drive would be just a link on your computer when using backup & sync. To work on the same folder with someone else directly from the computer, it's better to move the folder to your drive. The option is currently greyed out when you right-click on the folder, but it still works with the shortcut Shift+Z. The Folder uses the storage space from the folder owner only.

Hey Kevin! I would really appreciate if you make a vid of how to create a merch store.
Kevin, very informative. If you have any information as to how to set the sort feature in Google Drive to default to alphabetical A - Z I would be most appreciative. Somehow Google has switched this and everything is backwards, frustrating to say the least. Thanks, D.
Hey Kevin, I would really appreciate if you could make a video on editing in filmora X for absolute beginners. i know that you have posted other editing software tutorials, but DaVinci-Resolve in too advanced and the other two's UI isn't so great. So the perfect one is filmora as it is easy to use and has an attractive UI.. please consider my request :) ty

Great video, Kevin. I loved being able to put an icon on my desktp. Questions: It seems that Win10 has gotten rid of the option to DIM SCREEN. My husband is in IT and he can't find it either. It used to be you could dim your screen by using keyboard F keys. Now you can't. Also: is there are way to re-order the RC drop down menu. "Remane" is right by "Delete." Which sucks. Thanks!!

hello sir thanks for sharing
Also in addition to this. On the Drive URL shortcut, other Drive related keywords / phrases also work. Say you want to search Drive for documents concerning 'Dogs' but only the documents you are the owner of. So using Kevin's tip: Drive[space] to bring up the drive search and type 'Dogs owner:me'.

Dear Kevin! You've been a life saver! Can you please help in how to permanently default the Word font to Ariel from their Calibre? I've done it so many times over the years through Settings, but it just kept going back to Calibri as soon as I've finished - sometimes even when I start a new text box in PowerPoint within the same page. It is frustrating and time consuming. I've always thought it could be some conspiracy that MS wanted people to use the Calibri for some unknown reasons! Anyway, it would be wonderful if you can please help? Thank you. Mimi
wow, I really love this video. Can you please make the same video for one drive?

Great tips but I don't seem to have the same behavior for the Browser Address Search Bar. Typing the space after "drive" loads up my Google Drive but I don't get the "Search Drive |" in blue like exampled. Instead it's the typical URL search bar, so searches aren't focused within my drive and go out to the internet which isn't any different than what it was.
That last tip: When sending an email with a link to google drive files, you can also change that file afterwards and your recipients will also see that change the next time they view it, correct? Unless of course they download their own copy onto their harddrive or something...

Excellent point! Yet another benefit of sharing a Drive link instead of a traditional attachment 👍
Hi, I had my Drive folder on an external drive with Backup & Sync. Is this possible with Google Drive for Desktop?
Tip 12 question. Does sharing photos via Drive work for the receiver if they don’t have a Gmail?
Hello, Mr. Stratvert. When a folder is open, the file path is displayed above, but when a doc is open, how do we navigate to the source folder ?
so i looking to get multiple drive (Gmail workspace accounts) as a folder on my pc - I have my first personal Gmail account - but i have created 3 business workspace accounts and i would like to have them also as a folder on my pc - can i "get backup & sync " for each Gmail account and label them in my folders?
Limit of OCR (recognise text) is that the document has to be < 2MB.

I wish I knew how to sync a folder shared with me be someone else. I would like to see it in the File Explorer in Windows. Any ideas how to get it synched both directions?
"Backu & Sync" app? I thought the computer with Google Drive installed can be set to automatically reflect the same file if both on the computer (in the proper directory path) and also in the online cloud storage? What do I miss?
And one correction about storage policy. After 1st June 2021 any file you saved as google dos, sheets or slides it will occupy your main quota. Only updated files or newly created files will consume storage space not the one created b4 this date.

Hi Kevin, I have been a loyal fan. But I can't figure out how to back up my entire computer to Google drive, or can I figure out how to back up an entire external drive to Google Drive?????
Do you have a video showing how to use HTML on my PC to 1) download a folder from Google Drive to my desktop 2) Access files on the folder 3) delete the folder when closed.
TODAYYYYYY!
Is there a possibility to manage versions and not see the date modified?
