Saving to Google Drive

STUDENTS -- Saving Information to Google Drive

ACCMail is a Google Product with free cloud storage. You may save and share your documents and files there.

If you have activated your ACCmail account (emailname@g.austincc.edu), you have access to many online Google applications like Google Docs, Sheets, and Forms. [More information about this.]

Instruction on how to save to Google Documents can be found at the link below on Google Docs basics.
Note: Unless you want to edit the document online in Google Docs, you do not have to convert it to Google docs format.

How to use Google Docs

Google Drive Basics

Saving to Portable Drive

Saving Information to portable storage (e.g. a USB drive)

Insert a portable storage device (USB/Thumb drive).

Go to page you wish to save.
Click Save As.
In the pop-up window, click on the down arrow in the Save in window at the top or Browse to the appropriate drive.
Choose the drive where your portable storage is.
In the File name window, type a name.
- If you will want to use the information later for word processing, make sure the file name ends in .txt.
- If you will want to look at the information later as a web page, make sure the file name ends in .htm or .html.
Click Save.
Remove USB drive safely.
- Note: Saving web pages in HTML format (.htm or .html) will automatically create a folder for any graphics associated with the web page. This can take up a lot of space on your USB drive.
