Last week, presbytery leaders gathered on Zoom for a hands-on training of Google Drive. For some, it was an introduction to the platform, for others a refresher, and there were also a few folks who joined the conversation and shared helpful tips, as well.
It was a great conversation and a fun way to explore how we can best use Google Drive for not only our work together in the presbytery, but how you can use Google Drive in a collaborative space for your church or personal use.
During our training, we walked through the basics, including how to:
-
- Log in and navigate the homepage
- Create and/or upload documents; both Google Docs and Microsoft Word
- Create, name, and move folders; plus tips on using colors, stars, and shortcuts
- Access permissions and what it means to be a Viewer, Commenter, or Editor
- Use the search bar for a quick search and check which account you’re logged into
If you were unable to join us for the training, no worries! We have a recording of our session that you can watch any time and a PDF of the presentation slides for you to download and keep handy as a reference.

It’s our hope through our training and on-going support, you will feel comfortable and confident using Google Drive. As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions along the way. I’m happy to help!
