Whether it’s in Google Drive, or File Explorer on a Windows desktop, the power to name, rename, copy, move and even delete folders is in your hands.

At the start of every year, I create a folder with the school year name, e.g. 2018-2019. That folder will contain everything for the year – to keep it from becoming too cluttered, I usually create sub-folders in that folder, e.g. Guidance Department, State Reports, etc.

I create folders on my pc in File Explorer, as well as in Google Drive.

For Microsoft: Click on the folder icon or type in the search box “File Explorer”. To create a new folder, click on the New folder icon at the top of the window – see below:

In Google Drive, select New from the left side menu, then select Folder. Enter a name for the folder, click Create.

After you create a folder, you can move existing files into it by right clicking on the file, and select Move.
