 Google Drive is Google's cloud document service. The Google Drive Sync application allows you to store a copy of your Google Drive on your computer which is kept in sync with the files in your Google Drive online. Any files or folders you put in your Google Drive folder are available anywhere you can access your Google Account.
-====== How to Setup Google Drive Sync ======
+====== Automatically Backing Up Your Documents with Google Drive ======
-  - Go to the Start Menu and type in Google Drive, open it.
+**Faculty and staff should not do this.**
-  - At the sign-in screen, put in your La Salle high School email, and select Sign In.
+In this guide you will redirect your data folders to your Google Drive. Doing so will keep your data automatically synchronized with Google Drive so that if you ever lose your laptop you always have the most recent versions of your files available. In order to restore your files, simply follow these steps again and merge the folders when asked.
-  - When you are at the Moodle sign-in page, login with your Moodle username and password.
-  - Once the "Welcome to Google Drive" window appears, click "Next", then click "Start Sync".
-Google Drive will automatically create a "Google Drive" folder in your profile and in your favorites. Files (and OneNote notebooks!) placed in this folder are automatically uploaded to Google Drive so that you can access them from anywhere. To take advantage of this, remember to save your work into your Google Drive folder!
+Note that these steps can also be followed for [[https://db.tt/21Mxm3Y|Dropbox]] as well.
