Google Drive - Upload Course Notes from WDSharespace

WDSharespace is the primary digital storage area for Course Notes. There should also be a hard copy of each set of Course Notes in a folder in the bottom of the relevant filing box for each Course.
The notes from WDSharepace are copied to Google Drive (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) so that tutors can access notes from anywhere.

From time to time the copies held in Google Drive should be replaced by the most recent versions. This is done at the SeniorNet Learning Centre.

You must use Chrome as otherwise there is no option to upload "Folders".

You must use the following method, since WDSharespace is not visible on the Network using the "Folder Upload" method.

• Open Chrome and log into This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and navigate to Google Drive.
  Create a new folder for Course Notes with the current date.
  Delete the OLD version of Course Notes as there is only 15GB of storage and you need room to upload. Delete everything from the Trash folder then refresh to see that you have almost 15GB of free space.
  If the size displayed on GDrive has not changed, even if you refresh,sign out and sign in again.
  Reduce the Google Drive window so that it occupies one half of the screen.
  Click on the new folder you have made to open it.This is where the files will then upload.
  Go to the desktop and navigate to WDSharespace.
  Open Course Notes.
  Reduce the Course Notes window so that it occupies the other half of the screen.
  Select all the folders in Course Notes, then drag the Course Notes folders from WDSharespace to Google Drive.
  Upload commences and takes a considerable time - about 3 hours.  You will see a message "Upload complete".
  Sign out of Google Drive.

Delete your Chrome History.
