Training: Google Drive Basics: Maximize your File Collaboration Capabilities for Free

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The session will begin with covering why nonprofits should set up a business Google workspace, rather than having employees use personal accounts, and how they can do so for free. We will briefly touch on how to create users and set up shared drives in your Google Workspace. The remainder of the session will then focus on the basics of using Google Drive – creating documents, working on documents, sharing items, organizing your drive, searching, and recovering deleted files. We will also touch on how to ensure files are not lost when an employee leaves. Finally, there will be 20-30 minutes at the end for open Q&A.

Recorded 8/23/23.
