*_Creating new files, linking texts and sending files via e-mail are absolutely very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing._*

All 5 tips were new to me. Thank you Scott.

[JamesStrickland]

Wow, these tips were gold! The doc.new feature blew my mind. I guess you could make it a bookmark on the bookmark bar and make the process even faster. Also, I didn't know you could add multiple files into an email at one time with the drive. The other tips I use but these were great. Thanks for making drive a little more simple "Pun Intended".

That inserting link search feature while in a doc was new to me. That will help a lot!

Thanks Scott for sharing these tips. I've been putting off a project which needs some thought into it and your tip to convert voice to text on docs is just what I needed to complete it. Awesome! Great videos on your channel.

Great Tips and Tricks. I have a grammar correction. Instead of saying using LESS clicks, you should have said FEWER clicks. Thanks

As a college student, Google drive is one of the most important things. Google drive is my main storage for college related stuff and also where I create documents and presentations. I never thought it could get any easier so I really appreciate all of these tips. They're actually useful.
