Google Drive is where you'll want to store school-related files, such as assignments, pictures, and more. On a school Chromebook, access it using its icon on the bottom shelf:

 

Note: Not on a school Chromebook? Just go to drive.google.com in your web browser and sign in with your school account. If you're already signed in to a personal account, you may need to click your profile picture and choose Add another account.

 

When it opens, you'll see an overview of your recent files. Create new documents, presentations, and more using the + New button in the upper left, or select an existing file to view or edit it:

 

 

You can also create folders using the + New button, as shown below. Creating folders for different classes and/or weeks and putting assignments in them will pay off in the long term:

 

 

By default, when you download files or take screenshots on a Chromebook, they will go into your Downloads folder:

 

 

This folder isn't shared between different computers and may be cleared out from time to time. If you want to keep a file, we recommend clicking Show in folder and dragging the file to Google Drive on the left:
