Upload files

You can add files to Drive by importing them or by dragging and dropping.

1. Open Drive from your Dashboard.
2. Go to the folder you want to put the files in.
3. Click Import and choose Import files, or Import folders to bring in a whole folder structure.
4. Select the files on your computer.

You can also drag and drop files straight into the file list.

Create something new instead:

Under New you can create a New folder, a New workspace, or a document directly in Drive: New text document, New spreadsheet or New slides.

If a file will not upload:

Drive rejects the file and shows the reason. File too large means it exceeds the maximum allowed size, and Quota exceeded means you are out of space. Some file types are not allowed at all.

If you leave the page mid-upload, Drive asks whether you want to cancel. Files that have not finished are lost.
