Getting Started

Because of security concerns about the way the Google Drive app for iOS/iPadOS handles multiple accounts, WSFCS does not deploy the Drive app to shared iPads. However, you can still upload content (videos/images) by using the Safari web browser.

Browse to Google Drive on the web

  1. Open the Safari browser and type "drive.google.com" into the address bar.

  2. Tap Go on the keyboard.

Go to Drive

Click Go to Drive on the Google page.

Sign into Google

Upload New File

  1. Click on New in the upper left corner.

  2. Select File Upload from the drop-down menu.

Choose Source

From the source drop-down menu, choose whether you want to upload existing content or take a new photo/video. For the purposes of this article, we will upload an existing photo from the library.

Choose Content to Upload

  1. Select the photos/videos you want to upload.

  2. Click Add at the top right.
