All staff members have the option to use Google Back Up & Sync and if you're not, you should be! Read on for what exactly this is and how it can benefit you. To get Back Up & Sync, go to Manager --> Self Service --> My Apps and either install or reinstall it.
Once installed, follow the prompts to sign into your school Google account. You will then see the icon for Back Up & Sync in your menu bar at the top of your screen.
You can choose to back up your entire desktop, document folder, photos, or, you can choose specific folders from within your desktop or documents that you back up. I recommend picking and choosing so you don't use storage for things you don't need. If you don't use folders and have a hot mess of a desktop, you might just back up the entire desktop.
To choose specific folders to back up, click "choose folder". Then, click the drop down next to each location and select what you'd like to sync continuously and choose "open".
Going forward, you can easily access your Google Drive from your computer's Finder in addition to via drive.google.com.
