Cloud storage managing files ()

Organize your files in Google Drive

To organize your files in Drive, you can create folders to make files easier to find and share with others.

Note: If you organize a lot of files or folders at once, it might take time for you to see the changes.

This is available on multiple devices.

Explanation on using Google drive can be found on this link:
