Drive

Upload Files via Web

Open a Google Chrome window
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
