How to upload files to your Google Drive
We recommend saving all critical work files to your Google Drive. It's important to remember that the folders on your computer like Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc - are not backed up and in the event of computer failure, files saved only to these folders would be lost and not recoverable.
