For one tip I say the word "zed" that's my Canadian for "z":)
That's the proper pronunciation.
@ Teacher's Tech, Thanks for the Google Drive tips and I have a question but a little history first. I am preparing us for transition to retirement [is that tautology???] and have read many decluttering books and blogs, including, just recently, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning in which the author states starting to downsize, I prefer to say rightsize, in our sixties. I have uncluttered many of our possessions and papers and now I am onto digital, photos and sentimental. I have decided to transfer what I choose to keep to Google drive so I can access it when we travel.
I currently have pre-internet physical photo albums, pre-Mac photos on Picassa and with a crashed external hard drive backup for my photos...it's a mess in there and I hope 'they' can recover my photos at least but I will just call it an involuntary declutter, grieve and move on if they can't...I now have Mac iPhotos/Photos for my most recent photos, and iTunes for my music.
My question...I am currently using 2 of my free 15GB. I know I know how long is a piece of string but I still ask, will 15 GB be enough online storage for an aspirational minimalist wishing to live a simple life.
*I am Australian and I say 'zed' too...
*And peanut paste not peanut butter even though the manufacturers have changed/keep changing our labels...biscuits = cookies...nappies = diapers...ute = truck or 4X4...thongs = flip flops...entree = starters or appetisers...mains = entree...and so on and so forth...
Keep up the good work...and thanks again.
US$20 per year will get you 100 GB of storage space. That should be more than enough to store your photographs. (or US$100/year for 1 TB of space) But I wouldn't do the upgrade until you are close to your limit.
Teacher's Tech.. I to am Canadian ..weirdly though, being not tech Savvy knew what you ment ..lol
Trinidadians also say "zed".
I like how the video started with the super tips, and ends with some of the more-known tips. Thank you!
Thank you soooo much. I'm learning to endure my successful journey by the generousity of unselfish persons such as you. Great info.
Thanks for this teaching video. I honestly never knew about all that you have shown . I am new to all the drive tech.. or computers all together.. I have been using android phones...I will now be using a micro soft windows 10 Lap Top Computer along with my phone..I will, in the future, be Starting a Non-Profit, this will come in handy.. your explanation is in a way my mind could understand .. two thumbs up :
I was trying hard to figure out how to copy text from a long image file and this solved my problem. NO other app comes anywhere near this in terms of accuracy and works for a really long file too!
Thanks again.
Google lens is much easier
Thank you! These were excellent tips. Very useful to learn about features I didn't even know Google Drive had.
so happy i took the time to watch the whole video. thanks for putting this together!!
Must be using Tesseract OCR. Thanks for pointing out this feature! I had no idea. Already used it since watching this video!
First tip and I had to pause video to try it! It worked! I spent the next hour editing a pdf file I had wished that I could edit.
That's awesome Gina!
Thanks a lot teacher , these tricks helped me a lot in my work i’m looking froward to learn more and every thing is simple with your way of teaching . Fan from Morocco
This video is excellent. Will help me a lot since I am not tech savvy
Great tips and very clearly explained. Thank you.
Another way:
You can also add documents to multiple folder by Drag icon (first) while draging press Ctrl. A plus sign will appear and you can drop it in the folder, the doc/folder will now be in two places
I had no idea these functions were available. Thanks for the lesson teach!
Thank you for sharing these useful tips. It's so amazing that you can do a lot in GD itself.
Thank you for sharing with us these tips, they became very useful for me.
Excellent, thank you very much for your clear lessons. It'll be helpful if you can slow down a bit but I understand the time constraint. Not a problem anyway as I just pause and playback.
Super useful. Thank you for taking the time!
Brilliant tips! Thanks Jamie.
Thank you for taking the time to share with us this value information...
Thank you! I now know how to scan a pic into a pdf and that will help me while teaching from home during COVID.
Awesome tutorial! Thank you
I'm an ESL teacher in Canada and thanks for the reference to "zed". But, I also want to thank you for these tips. At the beginning, I also paused the video to check out the PDF conversion tips. It worked. I have had Google Drive for a while, I just haven't utilized it to its potential. Thanks for your help.
You're welcome! I'm glad the PDF tip could help you out.
amazing tips, thanks for sharing with us. Love and respect
Thanks this is brilliant. I have picked up loads of stuff I didn’t know about... some of it scary! Effiel Tower!
Scary? It’s google.
Very good video. I learned a lot. Thanks.
Very useful tips, will definitely ease my work now. Thank you.
I love your tutorials. You have a gift to make them simple and clear. I would love to see what you can do to explain the basics of a Facebook account. Especially how to make it as PRIVATE as possible. How to have full control of your content, notifications etc. THANK YOU.
Thank you, I will add that idea to my list of videos.
Excellent tips Thank you :)
Great stuff. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

great video. not some simple basic tips but some great tips here
thx!
Very nice tips! Thanks! 😁
Good work. Perfect!
I'm a little reluctant to move from SharePoint to Google Drive, but this video is very persuasive - I didn't realise you could do half this stuff.
Keep sharing such useful tips
Good video, thank you for sharing.
Great information! Thank you! I am just now learning my google drive and have a few things I can't seem to figure out. 1. Is there an easy way to copy files from the desktop? 2. When working in my email (gmail), how do I send a live link that would be view only as attachment? or 3. Do I need to send that email through google drive? (Using the tips in this tutorial)
Very useful and informative. Thanks! BTW, I figured "Zed" stood for the letter "Z," but thanks for the clarification.
Some of those tips were new to me, so thanks! Regarding the tip on export to PDF, if I haven't misunderstood, it can also be done by opening the document and from File > Download As, you can select PDF.
That's correct!
The "link" PDF method he shows allows the recipient to continually see the latest revision of your file, without having to Download > Send > Receive > Download > Save it manually. Turns a laborious process into a simple "Refresh"!
Thank you for the great tips! How do you find the size of a folder under My Drive please?
Just wonderful, it seems google drive has endless possibilities. Thanks so much for sharing these tips.
You're welcome!
Amazing!! Thanks!!
You have no idea how HUGE this is!!!! Deserved my sub
Very helpful! Somebody asked, but didn’t see an answer, how are you sharing screen, particularly the phone?
Thank you for those great tips.
Very useful tutorial with tips to use docs, pdf, OCR
Thanks for the tips. I found it very useful in many ways.
Glad it was helpful!
I love your tech tips. You are always clear in what you do (though the pause is useful sometimes). I'm from a 'zed' country too - Australia! I on the other hand would have known what you were talking about if you had said 'zee'.
Thanks and I knew there would be more "zed" people out there!😀
Teacher you are just the best!
Huge help Jammie!
thank you very much for the tips!!!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for informative session
I really appreciated the Shift Z tip! Excellent for sharing files to team drives etc!
Can you give me some advice for making sensitive files secure in your personal Drive. I work in a G Suite enterprise and people within my enterprise can search for and find files within the enterprise. Is there a way to place all sensitive files in the one location and restrict their ability to be found and seen?
For scanning for pdf make sure you keep the borders in the photo. I will look for them. I usually use a contrasting background.
This is totally not the Google drive organisation video I was looking for but I'm so glad I watched it anyway!
Very useful changes.
Thanks a lot for information.
Thx for the vid! Can you cover google "file streaming." Syncing Google Drive files online and offline. Thx
Wow. Only through the first tip and my mind is already blown!
Wow. Great tips!
There is no music in the background to distract. He may speak fast, but I can go back and replay. He is articulate and well spoken.
Thanks for nice presentation
Hola! muy buenos tips, Cómo puedo estar a vista y presentar las imágenes al mismo tiempo? cómo lo haces?
Thank you handy stuff to know.
Thank you for this video! I would be very interested in a video about using photos within docs. In my line of work, I upload photos, but would like to either draw on the pic or leave comments on them.
How do you have you talking layered on top of the visual? I'm new to all this stuff and don't know the names for everything. I need to learn how to do this. This is wonderful!!!!!
Hi there! Thanks for your video, I came across it by chance but it was just fantastic. Well done, I am going to check the rest of our videos, your channel sounds great.
I was thinking about using, google sheets, google forms and google sites, .. let’s see if you have videos on that. Thanks
The OCR I didn't know, I normally use a paid third party program, I'm very happy to know that. The same thing with the Scan.
Thank you so much
I love g drive and had no idea it had ocr. Pretty powerful for an online suite.
Very helpful.
Hi, Jamie! Great video, thanks! I love your tutorials. (How do you put your cut-out figure on the tutorial? I'd love to learn.)
Really useful, thanks!
very well explained, the only thing i did not understand was that how you secure your file from not being edited.
i could not find it in my mac.
Nice tips and video..
Good stuff... thks
