Is there a paper or PDF manual or user guide anywhere that we can use to learn this program? Some of the videos are great, but it's really difficult to get anywhere when I have to keep pausing and rewinding to see what I missed. And I have to use a 2nd monitor so I can be looking at My Drive, while watching a video. It's just a major hassle, and I'm frustrated.

I am confused. I have Google Drive, but only use it with Google apps such as Docs, Sheets. etc and not much for those either. It came into its own when I accidentally deleted a Google Doc and used Drive to find a previous version, that I could edit and update.

But, how does Google manage to backuo their files in Google, Map, Book, RUclips, Android and Gmail?
