Ever wonder what people are thinking related to a project you’re spearheading? Ever wish you could read minds until you consider the other thoughts folks may have so you decide that wouldn’t be so great? How can we gather information quickly so it can be applied or utilized just as quickly? One answer is Google Forms, which we’ll review and use at our next Tech Tuesday.
First, we will review how to create and properly use Google Forms.
Second, you will receive a Google Form questionnaire next week on the topic of unanswered questions you may have from previous Tech Tuesdays. Please complete the form by May 21 so we can collate the information and get some answers to your pressing questions by the following day. See how that works? You will be getting more for your money. And since you don’t pay for Tech Tuesdays, it is really a great deal!
This will be the last Tech Tuesday until August. Thanks to all of you and your amazing contributions, Tech Tuesdays have been a big success. We’re taking off the months of June and July so we can catch our breath and reconvene with fresh ideas.
Watch News & Notes for the restart date of Tech Tuesday noon meetings.

Tech Tuesdays: Google Drive tips and tricks
It’s very easy to drag files and folders around in Google Drive, too easy in fact, and dragging items moves them for everyone in your domain… so take care.
If you are about to “Move” a folder Google does warn you – so watch out for pop-up windows warning about sharing, if you see one, carefully consider whether you do want to “Move” the folder out of a shared area.
When working with shared files and folders, it is important to remember to use the Add to My Drive button instead of dragging the file/folder to My Drive. Using the Add button does just that: it adds the item to your drive without changing the location of the file or folder for other users. Dragging the item moves it for everyone and some users may lose access. If you attempt to add something to your drive and see a pop-up warning that you are moving the item, take heed and do not continue unless you are sure that you want to move it out of the shared area.
Check out this Google support document to Add files to My Drive for additional help.
If you are looking for a file or folder you have shared with someone else and can no longer find it, click on the information icon (the small i in a circle) on the upper right of your drive to see recent activity. You can see which items have been moved, removed (trashed), renamed, shared/unshared, edited, and more, so it may help you locate what you are looking for.
