How to Put Videos on Google Drive
In today’s digital age, storing and sharing videos have become an essential part of our lives. Google Drive offers a convenient and secure way to store your videos and share them with others. Whether you want to backup your cherished memories or collaborate with colleagues on a video project, this guide will walk you through the process of how to put videos on Google Drive.
Step 1: Sign in to Google Drive
The first step in uploading videos to Google Drive is to sign in to your Google account. Open your web browser and go to drive.google.com. If you are not already signed in, you will be prompted to enter your email address and password. Once logged in, you will see your Google Drive dashboard.
Step 2: Create a new folder (optional)
To organize your videos, it’s a good idea to create a new folder specifically for your videos. Click on the “+” icon in the upper left corner of the screen and select “New.” Then, choose “Folder” and give it a name, such as “My Videos.” Click “Create” to finish.
Step 3: Upload your video
Now that you have a folder for your videos, it’s time to upload your video files. There are several ways to do this:
1. Drag and drop: Click on the folder where you want to upload your video, and then drag the video file from your computer to the folder in Google Drive. Release the mouse button to drop the file.
2. Click “New” and select “File upload”: Click on the “+” icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then choose “File upload.” Navigate to the location of your video file on your computer, select it, and click “Open.”
3. Use the upload button: Click on the “New” button in the upper left corner of the screen, then choose “Folder upload” or “File upload” depending on the number of files you want to upload. Select your video file and click “Open.”
Step 4: Wait for the upload to complete
Once you have selected your video file, Google Drive will start uploading it to your account. The time it takes to upload will depend on the size of the file and your internet connection speed. You can monitor the upload progress by clicking on the file name in the upload queue.
Step 5: Access and share your video
After the upload is complete, you can access your video by navigating to the folder where you uploaded it. To share your video with others, right-click on the file and select “Share.” Enter the email addresses of the people you want to share the video with, and choose the level of access you want to grant them (view, edit, or comment). Click “Send” to share the video.
By following these simple steps, you can easily put videos on Google Drive and enjoy the convenience of secure storage and sharing.
