Quick demo of Google Drive

Here's a quick how to guide I made yesterday to help you open and create documents in your Google drive.  Sharing is also simple, just make sure you have that person's correct email address.  I also suggest watching it fullscreen, just to make things easier to see.

Remember, it's not scary.  Click on things just to see what happens - that's how I have learned things.  You cannot break Google by clicking on things.

Enjoy!
