    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
