Access Everything

Your files are always waiting for you at drive.google.com,but you can also get them straight from your computer, smartphone, and tablet. Install Google Drive on multiple devices and UDrive makes sure they’re all the same. You can even get to your files after you go offline.

Any time your device has Internet access, it checks in with UDrive. That ensures your files and folders are always up to date. Change something on one device and it changes everywhere.

Use Google Drive’s folder features to organise your files. On Google Drive online you can also set colour tags to files and folders.

Start Sharing.

Constantly sending email attachments with updated files isn’t needed with Google Drive. Create a folder and then share that folder with other friends or colleagues.

All you need is their email. You can control who can view files and who can make changes.

Top Tips:

Keep eye on your data.

30GB may seem like alot, but over time that quota might become full if you don’t manage your file sizes. Take note of what size videos or photos are before uploading to UDrive.

With your emails, regularly clean out attatchments that are large in size.

Remember you are responsible for your own quota and content.

Create Backups.

While keeping files on UDrive is a great idea for accessibility and sharing, remember to never keep a file in just one location.

Always save a backup on a usb or computer hard drive.
