Go to Google Drive and login if you aren’t already
Create a “Backup” folder
Open your computer file browser (File Explorer in Windows; Finder in macOS)
Select the files/folders you want to upload from your computer
Commonly used folders to backup include:
Desktop
Documents
Downloads (only if necessary; try to avoid storing important files in this folder)
Pictures
Drag & Drop the selected files/folders from your computer desktop into the browser window with Google Drive open
The upload process should begin immediately
An estimated time to completion will show in the upload window in the bottom-right corner
The Google Drive window must remain open during the upload process, and we recommend plugging the computer in to power
Ensure Chrome Browser is Syncing
Open Google Chrome browser
Open the User Profile window by clicking on the small button in the upper-right corner of the window (either a person icon or your picture)
“Sync Is On” should be present in the User Profile window; if not, continue with next steps
Select “Turn on sync”
Enter your LVUSD email address (If asked whether your account is “Organizational” or “Individual”, select “Organizational”)
Enter your LVUSD email password
When asked “Link your Chrome data to this account?”, select “Link Data”
Select “Ok, Got It” at the next pop-up
You should soon see a “Staff Bookmarks” folder appear on the Bookmarks Bar, and you should be automatically signed-in to any Google apps such as Gmail, Calendar, and Drive
If you’ve signed-in to Chrome on another computer before, wait a few minutes to allow your data to sync including: bookmarks, extensions, saved passwords
