KEEP EVERYTHING - SHARE EVERYTHING
Your school email account allows you use many more features of Google than purely your email. Today we are going to explore Google Drive... which put simply is like a Pen Drive that you don't need to carry.
Google Drive allows you to save all your documents, photos and films via your email log in. It allows you have access to these files from any device that can connect to the internet and it allow you share these files with anyone who has an email making it easy for your to collaborate on projects with other people.

why start saving your files using cloud based date storage
In the near future the school will require staff to start using cloud based data storage to save all your documents and files. Why? I hear you ask.
- Firstly, in a purely practical and physical sense the school´s hard drive server storage is limited in comparison to the potential number of users: think teachers, students and administration and you could arrive at a figure of 700 people. It was too many people for the old server and we could quickly fill the new one if we are not careful. In reality we need to protect this fixed memory space for higher security files and data. Therefore, teacher and student use needs to be more controlled and/or selective.
- Secondly, there are numerous advantages to you as a technology user if you chose to stare you data files using cloud based data storage. a) You can throw away that pen drive you keep losing or forgetting! b) you can access you files on any device that can connect to internet without having to log onto the server. c) Google drive automatically synchronizes with you PC, Tablet and Smart Phone. d) Quickly share your files and folders with colleagues or students. e) Google Drive works with numerous other internet based programs to make your files easily accessible.
