A 5 minute screencast of how to install and set up the Google Drive Desktop App. This tool gives Google Apps users the ability to sync folders on their computer with their Google Drive account in the cloud (much like Dropbox - but with way more space).

A couple of things to note...
1. You still need to enable offline access for your Google Docs/Sheets/Slides (it's shown in the tutorial).
2. You can only set up the Google Drive Desktop App for one Google Account at a time. So if you have a personal account and a work account, you will need to choose between them (tip: create a shared folder for stuff you need access to from either account). Teachers who are storing student data, should use their Google Apps for Education (GAFE) Account and not their personal Gmail accounts.
