While the search feature in Google Drive is helpful and amazing, sometimes it may feel as if you are searching in a black hole. One way to organize your Google Drive is to create folders. Think of folders as ‘boxes’ for storage. Some tips for organizing your folders in Google Drive:
Use consistent naming and numbering. You can organize your folders by year, subject, and/or type.
Add colors to folders. To do this, select the folder and right click. You will see Change Color next to a paint palette icon. Choose colors that make sense to you.
Add emojis for a visual effect. To do this, go to emojopedia.org to search for the emoji you want. Copy it. Select the folder you want to edit and press ‘n’ to change the name. Put your cursor BEFORE the name of the folder. Then paste.
Time spent creating an organized structure in your Drive means having more time and energy for other tasks. Depending on the state of your Drive, this could be a lot of work. Don’t overwhelm yourself. Take pride in even the smallest accomplishment!
