Google Drive is a lot more than just a
free online storage service it also
allows you to create and edit a variety
of different files for example you might
create a Google Doc which is similar to
a file you could create in Microsoft
Word a Google sheet which is similar to
what you might create in Microsoft Excel
or a presentation which is similar to
what you might create in Microsoft
PowerPoint creating a new file in your
Google Drive is pretty easy just click
the new button then select the type of
file you want to create in this example
I want to make a document so I'm going
to choose Google Docs your file will
appear on a new tab in your browser
window now you can locate and select
untitled document in the upper left
corner and give your file a name
when you're done press ENTER if we go
back to our Google Drive and reload the
page you can see that the file has
already been saved here and we can just
double click it to open it again
now you may also notice that there's no
save command and that's because every
file you create on Google Drive is saved
automatically as you work one other
thing we like to show you is how to
create a document from a template to get
started go to drive.google.com forward
slash templates in this example I'm
looking for a resume template when you
find a template you like just double
click it to open it a new file will be
created on your Google Drive with the
selected template you can then customize
it with all your own information to fit
your needs
now that you know the basics you're
ready to dive in and start creating your
own files in Google Drive
